00:00Welcome to Mediane TV and L'Art in this edition of La Havane welcomes the 15th edition of the Biennale de l'Art which will take place until February 2025.
00:21The event will bring together hundreds of artists and will be focused on the dialogue between art and the daily life of communities
00:28with the slogan Horizon shared. The Biennale has planned that many artistic projects and installations will interact with the Cuban community
00:37on the squares, in the streets, in the neighborhoods and in various public spaces, in addition to galleries and traditional museums.
00:44I suggest you listen to Serivrin Cuba.
00:47I think that in these times where there are difficulties of all kinds, these installations, which are placed in institutional places as well as in public places,
01:00help people to calm their spirits and to face the difficulties of everyday life in a different way.
01:06The art helps us to continue to live. Looking at these exhibitions and these creations, it is as if the artists were transmitting their feelings to us.
01:24We must be up to the task to understand this art and move forward.
01:29People want to start through their art and move forward.
01:35With the participation of 172 Cuban artists and 230 foreigners, 61% of whom come from southern countries,
01:44the event celebrates its 40th anniversary and includes a large commemorative tour of Cuban art.
01:49The Biennale will close with the screening of a documentary with interviews of important personalities from the different Biennales.
01:57The Biennale of Havana aims to show contemporary art from southern countries and to involve the public.
02:03Over the years, this artistic event has gained great recognition in the world over the past four decades.
02:10I suggest you listen to the German artist Martin Steinhardt.
02:18People can come and write their wishes, their thoughts, their messages in sculpture.
02:23In this way, we get a part of the spirit of the city and of society in each city around the world.
02:30This is the idea of the project.
02:35Organized by the Wilfredo Lam Cultural Center, the 15th Biennale of Havana promotes a retrospective and decolonizing vision
02:45through a dialogue between creators from Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Latin America and the Caribbean.
02:51At the capital's headquarters, works and exchanges between artists and the public will be held in places such as El Fanguito, Casablanca, Los Sitios or Malson.
03:01The event is also a tribute to Havana and its inhabitants,
03:05as its inauguration coincides with the 505th anniversary of the founding of the Cuban capital.
03:13I suggest you listen to the Palestinian-American artist Samia Halabi.
03:21For me, art does not change anything. Art mainly allows changes, but slowly.
03:27Artists are proud of their culture. Palestinians are. Cubans are too. Americans are too. It is very important.
03:37Culture belongs to everyone, not just one class.
03:40We all have the responsibility to preserve each part of it, no matter what we think of it.
03:48It is precious, it is our human heritage, and at the moment it is very important.
03:58And music to finish. And after his farewells, Elton John reveals Never Too Late, his new clip on his YouTube channel.
04:06This song, performed in duo with the American singer Brandi Carlile, will illustrate the documentary on the life of Elton John,
04:13also known as Never Too Late, on December 13 on Disney+.
04:17The 77-year-old singer, who officially closed his 300-date farewell tour in Stockholm last July,
04:24had visibly not finished his career while waiting for his 31st album.
04:29I suggest you listen to an excerpt of Never Too Late.
04:43Never too late
04:47Well it's never too late
04:50To go shoot out the moon
04:53We'll go dancing in graveyards
04:57You can keep your balloons
