A discussion on the history of racism and ensuing social conflicts in Cuba, beyond the hackneyed rhetoric. The panel will bring together black Cuban intellectuals and artists–Enrique Patterson, Yanelys Nuñez, Ignacio Granados, Berta Mexidor, Yesenia Selier, and Ramón Colás–who will offer new critical views on racism in Cuba. They will be joining the discussion from different places in the U.S., including Pittsburgh, Mississippi, Miami, as well as from Spain and Brazil.
The panel will be moderated by writer and journalist Jorge Olivera Castillo, who will also lead a Q&A discussion with the audience via Zoom.
