Join us for a conversation on the role of Cuba’s civil society and the importance of documenting and preserving its voices.
The program will open with a compilation of interview excerpts from Cuban activists, culminating with recent oral history testimony and a keynote address from José Daniel Ferrer García.
Panelists will explore the challenges faced by civil society on the island, recent legal developments that impact free expression and association, and the international mechanisms working to protect these rights. The discussion will also highlight the Cuban Heritage Collection’s role in safeguarding testimonies, stories, and cultural expressions that reflect the resilience and realities of the Cuban people, both on the island and in exile.
