Cuba's Casa de las Américas emerged as a gathering space for artists and activists from the Nuestra América Convoy, in a session of dialogue where diverse artistic expressions and critical thinking converged.

The exchange, which took place the previous day under the leadership of the institution's president, Abel Prieto, included the Irish band Kneecap, American rapper Vic Mensa, and representatives from The People's Forum.

Attendees regarded Cuba as a legitimate space for cultural articulation with political and social purpose, the institution reported through its social media channels.

Participants also engaged with Cuban intellectuals such as Nancy Morejón, Zuleica Romay, and Pepe Menéndez. The gathering evolved into a platform for shared reflection on artistic creation and social responsibility, further enriched by members of the group Obsesión — Magia López and Alexey Rodríguez — who contributed from the perspective of artistic practice and activism.

The event functioned as a genuine space for exchange, where ideas circulated beyond institutional protocol, amid a geopolitical climate that, according to participants, makes these spaces of alliance and solidarity all the more necessary.

Casa de las Américas acknowledged the solidarity stance of the Convoy's members, particularly those artists who transform their work into a tool of protest against the intensification of the economic blockade against Cuba.
