May 26 to 28, 2008

La Casa de las Américas, through its Centre for Caribbean Studies, together with the UNESCO Regional Office for Latin America and the Caribbean, invites you to participate in this International Colloquium that will be held between May 26th and 28th of 2008.

For this second edition, the event proposes to reflect upon a variety of topics at conferences and discussion groups where prestigious specialists will be invited to tackle essential aspects of Caribbean cultural diversity in its multiplicity of islands, continental coastal regions and diasporas. Some of the subjects with which this forum will deal are: identity and cultural space, popular arts and crafts, literary and linguistic challenges, visibility of the indigenous races, Caribbean public spaces and environments in the face of the new millennium’s transforming challenges.

The Colloquium will have the services of simultaneous translation (Spanish, English and French). Interested participants must send confirmation of their attendance before May 5, 2008. The Registration Fee of 50.00 CUC will be paid in cash, in person, at the Casa de las Américas headquarters.
