It was impossible to take part in all of the important points of the program. Since the lecture hall in the National Museum of Fine Art was not available this year, lectures and round-table discussions were spread out among different locations. This meant that there was a continual overlapping of events. A number of lecturers didn't make the trip, still others didn't hold their scheduled talks even though they were in Havana. Schedules were changed regularly, including those for performances. What events actually took place may only be known by the Centro Wifredo Lam. Therefore, we limit ourselves here to a brief overview with a few specific examples.
