SUMMARY:XV Havana Biennial 2024-2025
DESCRIPTION:The most attractive and distinctive thing about the Havana Biennial is its ability to take the city as a setting. However\, the visual proposal in traditional spaces such as art galleries\, studios\, or museums is wide and varied. Artists are invited to create together in the communities\, as a profitable exchange experience and its extension to other cities in the country is planned. \nThe Havana Biennial\, founded in 1984\, is a contemporary art event organized by the Wifredo Lam Center whose fundamental purpose is to contribute to the better knowledge and dissemination of the visual arts of Asia\, Africa\, the Middle East\, Latin America\, and the Caribbean and their diásporas. It is considered “the first biennial of Latin American art.”

SUMMARY:Week of Actions for Human Rights Day: Protest sanctions on Palestine\, Cuba\, Venezuela and Nicaragua
DESCRIPTION:Actions in-person and online from December 1-15\, 2024\nClick Here for Full Events Schedule\nHuman Rights Day is observed annually around the world on December 10\, the anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights\, which enshrines rights that everyone is entitled to as a human being.\nThis Human Rights Day\, we are horrified that the genocidal terror on Gaza is not only continuing\, but spreading throughout the region. We demand that the killing stop! Many people are unaware\, however\, that thousands of Palestinians were being killed prior to the start of the Gaza war in October of 2023 due to the economic coercive measures (“sanctions”) imposed on them by Israel and the United States. Sanctions prevented the reconstruction and maintenance of crucial infrastructure\, severely limiting the availability of clean drinking water and of electricity for hospital services\, while the entry of food and medicines was also restricted. 98% of Gaza’s water was unfit for human consumption\, causing rampant waterborne illnesses which were responsible for 12% of childhood deaths. Yes\, sanctions kill! \nThe United States is currently imposing such economic coercive measures on 40 countries\, accounting for one-third of the world’s population. So\, this Human Rights Day\, we demand an end to economic coercive measures! Sanctioned countries are insisting on an end to these measures that violate their peoples’ right to development. There is a growing movement to enshrine this right in a convention on the right to development. So\, this Human Rights Day\, we say: “human rights = right to development.” \nWe advocate for people-centered human rights\, such as the right to education\, healthcare\, housing\, adequate food\, clean water and peace — rights that are respected in Cuba\, Nicaragua and Venezuela. These countries have also taken a principled stance in international fora to stop the genocide underway in Gaza. Regrettably\, this has caused them to be further targeted with economic warfare by Israel and the United States. This Human Rights Day\, we demand that countries not be punished for upholding international law\, and we demand people-centered human rights in the U.S. \nThis is a project of the Sanctions Kill / Americas Without Sanctions Campaign\, International People’s Tribunal Against U.S. Imperialism\, Zone of Peace Campaign and Friends of the ATC Nicaragua. \nEndorsed by the International US-Cuba Conference Coalition  \nThe Americas Without Sanctions campaign\, part of SanctionsKill\, raises awareness about the impact of coercive measures on governments in Latin America and the Caribbean that the U.S. has targeted for regime change — Cuba\, Nicaragua and Venezuela — and advocates for the removal of those measures. \nTo endorse this week of actions\, email aws@sanctionskill.org.

SUMMARY:Los Angeles Teach-In: Take Cuba off the State Sponsors of Terrorism List (SSOT)! End all US economic\, commercial\, and financial sanctions against Cuba!
DESCRIPTION:With a population of 11 million\, Cuba\, 90 miles from the US\, exists as an independent\, sovereign\, and peaceful nation. Cuba exports doctors\, not weapons or bombs. Yet it has been the victim of Washington’s bipartisan economic\, military\, and political war for 65 years. The daily cost of this brutal policy is $15 million a day! Since Cuba’s 1959 revolution\, it is over $144 billion! \nAlong with the criminal blockade\, Biden maintains 243 sanctions imposed by Trump. Especially harmful\, Biden keeps Cuba on the State Department’s “State Sponsors of Terrorism” (SSOT) list. Cuba has never participated in terrorist acts. Since 1959 over 3500 Cuban civilians have been killed in terrorist attacks\, planned from US territories with forces trained by US agencies. \nJoin us to educate and mobilize people to oppose the US criminal policies against our Cuban neighbors \nSpeakers:\n– Yasser Ibarra-First Sec’y Cuban Embassy to U.S. (zoom)\n– Guadalupe Cardona- President\, La Raza Educators Assoc.\n– Charlotte Williams- Building Relations with Cuban Labor Brima Sylla- Teamsters-Amazon Labor Union. # 1 (zoom)\n– Mike Vera- InlandBoatmen’s Union (ILWU Marine Division)\n– Bita Amani- Prof. Public Health\, Charles Drew Med.School Mwezi Odom- African Peoples Socialist Party\n– Kevin Kucera- Dir.
