A partnership has been established this year with the Centro de Desarollo de las Artes Visuales in Havana and OBORO in Montreal. This meeting will focus on the issues of the contemporary art world in Cuba as well as her curatorial practice in new media. The Montreal - Havana Exchange allows artists and curators to immerse themselves in a new creative-thinking environment and to engage in activities that combine visual and media arts, in order to encourage partnerships and long-term projects. This project also aims to promote access to expertise and investigate new artistic territories, in both Cuba and Montreal.
