The Havana Biennial was established in 1984, long before the worldwide boom
of Biennials in the Mid-nineties. Its first edition was focused on
artists from Latin America and the Caribbean who live or have their
cultural roots there. Since the 2nd Havana Biennial in 1986, the focus was
extended to include Africa and Asia, thus becoming the most important meeting
place for artists from "non-Western" countries. For this reason, Universes
in Universe dedicated particular attention to this event several times.
For the 10th Havana Biennial in
the year 2009, the organizers have announced a more open concept, which means
that the restriction to invite artists from the so-called "Third World" will
be officially lifted.
