Havana to Celebrates its 488 Birthday
Havana, Nov 12 (acn) With a large number of artistic activities,
Havana citizens will celebrate the 448th birthday of their city on
November 16. Films on the development of Cuban musical cinema,
children's painting workshops, oral narration sessions and traditional
feasts are part of the program of celebrations that will take place
from November 12 to 19 in the Historic Center of the City.
Havana Historian Eusebio Leal said he will deliver a key lecture,
November 15, at the Convention Hall, during the plenary session of the
15th Encounter of Solidarity and Cooperation among City Halls with
Havana. The event will be attended by some 500 delegates from 32 Latin
American, Asian, African and European countries.
Leal announced that a ceremony to mark the 40th anniversary of the
Historian's Office of Havana City (See http://www.ohch.cu/
) will take
place December 2nd. The Office is involved in urban planning, research
and the development of a monthly cultural program, said Leal, who
underscored the efforts made by the Office in favor of restoration of
the city's built stock.
A traditional ceremony to mark the founding of the city will take place
November 15 at 6 pm in the original place where it took place 488 years
ago and it will be followed by a popular pilgrimage to the site. Also
included in the program is the inauguration of a photo exhibition by US
artist Cathryn Griffith, titled "Havana Revisited: An Architectural
Heritage."
