Catalogue: Introduction

Over the last fifty years, the number of institutions and foundations promoting contemporary visual arts has noticeably increased in highly industrialised nations. Those institutions have, for the most part, aimed to disseminate art from their own countries, while art from the Third World has been marginalised and to a great extent ignored. It is therefore not surprising for it to be unknown and in a position of disadvantage.

Regulations

The Bienal de La Habana aims to consolidate a space open to art from Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Latin America and the Caribbean, as a way to foster its exchange, the understanding of its values and to contribute to its dissemination and universal recognition.
