Offered in early January (Spring Semester), The Arts in Cuba examines the role of contemporary art, culture and artists in Cuba. The emphasis is on visual arts and the role of the artist in Cuban society, but music, theater and dance are also discussed in their historical, social, economic, and cultural context. We will have the opportunity to visit many of the key cultural institutions in Havana and hear from their leaders how these institutions function. Meets on campus (three times) and in Cuba for one week.
