Every October, Cuban Culture Day celebrates our nation's identity and creative spirit. In the United Kingdom, this commemoration is brought to life by an extraordinary community of Cuban artists who have made these islands their home. Their art embodies the intangible essence of being Cuban, known as cubanía, building a direct bridge between our two peoples and fostering understanding through the universal language of art.
