In January 1995 through the auspices of Peter and Irene
Ludwig, the Ludwig Foundation of Cuba was publicly inaugurated as one of the few NGOs approved to operate locally. The
presentation aims to illustrate some of its programs and events, as well as how they integrate within the institutional system
and the community of artists in the island.
