In Havana, Palomar is a rooftop overlooking the Capitol where artists come together for jam sessions and gatherings. In Gibara, Casa Gitana opens every year during the Gibara International Film Festival — a gathering place between screenings, with live music every night.
Our programs here have included the 12th World Congress on Art Deco in 2013, the AIA Committee on Design conference in 2016, and programs around the Havana Biennial.
In Cuba especially, plans bend with the day — a rehearsal runs long, a neighbor invites you in, the music starts early. We leave room for it. Some of the best moments aren’t on the schedule.
