The Coffee Culture Interpretation Center, Casa Dranguet, based in Santiago de Cuba, began this Wednesday and until the 13th, the seventh Coffee Cultural Landscape: A heritage for the future event.
In the 2024 edition, the event shows a comprehensive vision of coffee culture with theoretical events and artistic demonstrations in public spaces of the city, as a way of bringing this heritage closer to the inhabitants of the southeastern city.
Among the actions, the route “Through the coffees of my Santiago” stands out, which opened the event and tomorrow the theoretical session will be held that promotes scientific studies from history and cultural heritage to the role of technology in the commercialization of coffee.
The closing ceremony of the meeting will take place on Friday at the Balcón de Velázquez, one of the iconic sites of the city of Santiago de Cuba, where a cultural celebration will take place to promote the most authentic traditions associated with coffee.
In 2000, UNESCO included the Archaeological Landscape of the First Coffee Plantations in Southeastern Cuba on the list of World Cultural Heritage Sites. The site dates back to the 19th century and studies on it clarify aspects of the economic, social and technological history of the Caribbean and Latin America.
