XXII-CONGRESO-ANUALJOSÉ-MARTÍ-PROGRAM
The Cuban Cultural Center of New York presents its 22nd consecutive annual conference, this year titled José Martí: Legado, vigencia y guía, delving into the overarching legacy of the most prominent and consequential figure in Cuba’s history, widely regarded as the founder of the Cuban nation. The presentations will cover all aspects of his legacy, as thinker, revolutionary, poet, essayist, journalist, and teacher, as well as his daily life, his friendships, and his personal trials and tribulations while living in late 19th century New York City. Special emphasis will also be placed on the resonance of his teachings today and their potential role in a transition to democracy in Cuba.
The congreso will include illustrated presentations, archival photographs, film clips, and engaging Q&As with the audience, and will be headlined by renowned scholars, journalists, historians, and artists from Cuba, Latin America, and the United States, including opening and closing keynote speakers Esther Allen and Dagoberto Valdés, and featuring José Moya, Iraida Iturralde, Salvador Salazar, Jorge Ignacio Domínguez, Orlando José Hernández, Emilio Sánchez, Perla Rozencvaig, Emilio Cueto, Yoandy Izquierdo Toledo, Elena Palmero, Joaquín Gálvez, Ricardo Gil, and Eduardo Lolo, among others. The congreso will be dedicated in memoriam to Carlos Ripoll, widely considered the most outstanding Martí scholar.
The one-day flagship event will include continental breakfast, almuerzo cubano, an evening musical reception with wine and Cuban hors d’oeuvres for all panelists and participants, as well as pre-registered attendees.
