Painter, drawer, engraver, illustrator, and muralist Cosme Proenza Almaguer passed away in Holguín early Monday. He was 74 years old and was one of the most important figures of the visual arts in the eastern part of the island.
Holguín writer and journalist Rubén Rodríguez received a Mention at the 20th Julio Cortázar Ibero-American Short Story Prize 2022 for his book “Anatomía de la tempestad”, an honor that he deserves for the second time.
The Stereo G Festival, which makes Holguín the epicenter of electronic music in Cuba every summer, returns this Friday to Caletones beach, in the municipality of Gibara, the usual venue for the event, with the participation of national and local projects.
The Adelaida del Mármol National Poetry Prize calls for its 20th edition, organized by the Pedro Ortiz Domínguez Center for the Promotion and Development of Literature, the Provincial Center for Books and Literature, and the Ediciones Holguín publishing house.
The mythical landscapes of Gibara were not the only ones that made Humberto Solás feel attracted, because beyond the architectural beauty of the Villa Blanca, the authenticity and simplicity of its people stands out.
