Havana, September 30 (RHC)-- The Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Cuba are calling for the II Festival of Culture with Cubans Living Abroad "Cuba goes with me", from November 2 to 12, 2023.

This edition will be a new opportunity for Cuban artists and intellectuals living in other countries to share their art with the Cuban public and with those who visit us.

Based on the cultural richness that unites us, we will highlight the work of cultural personalities with consolidated careers abroad and talented young people who are bearers of our identity.

The event, which will be held in a hybrid format (on-site and virtual), will feature presentations in all art forms, with emphasis on weekend programming in Havana's theaters and artistic spaces.

There will also be visits to art schools and community projects, as well as contests for children and young people of Cuban descent living abroad.

 A novelty in this edition will be the development of a Forum where participants will be offered an update on existing legislation to propose and advance cooperation and business projects related to the field of Cultural and Creative Industries in our country.

The Ministry of Culture will guarantee the spaces for the presentations and exhibition of works of the plastic arts; the artistic production of musical and theatrical shows, as well as the logistical assurance for rehearsals. In addition, it will coordinate television broadcasts through the Clave Channel and other promotional spaces of Cuban Television.

"Cuba goes with me" will be the main concept of the presentations and messages sent by artists and writers who are unable to participate and wish to address the event's audience. Those interested may contact the respective Cuban diplomatic representations abroad or the Organizing Committee by e-mail at cubavaconmigo23@cubarte.cult.cu.    (Source: Cubarte).
