Cultural institutions in Spain, Cuba, Mexico, and Chile are hosting various exhibitions and events centered on historical memory and literature.

In Spain, an immersive video titled ‘Del Olvido a la Luz’ explores the democratic memory of Seville from 1936 to 2026, addressing the impact of the 1936 coup and the region’s mass graves. Simultaneously, an interactive exhibition in Camagüey, Cuba, titled ‘Cien veces Fidel’ uses multimedia to document Fidel Castro’s visits and influence on local institutions between 1959 and 2016.

In Mexico, the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) has organized a series of virtual talks with Cuban narrators as a precursor to upcoming in-person sessions in Mexico City. In Chile, the Teatro Camilo Henríquez is presenting ‘Crónicas de reporteros’, a production that reconstructs journalistic experiences and testimonies from the military dictatorship era, specifically focusing on the ‘Caso Quemados’ and other milestones from the 1970s through the 1990s.
