Digicult Editions is proud to announce the release of Connecting La Havana,
the first publication from the “Making Peers” new series.

Connecting La Havana is a research and educational project developed in
Havana /Cuba between September 2010 and September 2011. Initiated by TIME
FRAME (Amsterdam) in collaboration with the Netherlands Media Art Institute
- NIMK, has the support of Mondriaan Foundation and Prince Claus Fund. TIME
FRAME investigates the intersection of media, technology, art and society
in the current contemporary art practices in Africa and Latin America,
stimulating and promoting sustainable media art training, discussion,
production and the transit of new artwork in Europe.

Edited by Lucrezia Cippitelli, scholar and curator, professor of Aesthetics
at the Art Academy of L’Aquila, co-curator of the project TIME_FRAME,
Connecting La Havana has been developed as a long-term research and
educational program, focused on time-based and media art from a South/South
perspective. The project started with two weeks of visits, informal
presentations and small-scale workshops in Havana on September 2010.

This book is not a simple documentation of the project Connecting Havana.
The aim of the publication is primarily to introduce the work of those
artists who participated to the process of learning, teaching, presenting,
sharing, researching. A general survey of critical perspectives on
contemporary art practices in Havana from the very last years: surely a
complicated time-frame for Cuba and for its cultural production.

Focusing on time-based and media art as tool of self-representation and
critical process of creation and participation, Connecting La Havana had
the chance to visit and involve local creativity, discovering a local
context of artists and producers who use the languages of contemporary
creation as tool of social interaction, political intervention, cultural
critique. Not calling themselves dissidents, not questioning the
revolutionary history of the Country, sometimes working within or with
institutions.
