Una red nacional de artistas, productores, músicos y guionistas de Estados Unidos pidió al presidente George W. Bush que levante las restricciones al intercambio cultural con Cuba.

En una carta difundida por la red de Intercambio Cultural entre EEUU y Cuba (USCCE, por su sigla en inglés) solicitó a Bush que flexibilice el intercambio entre ambas naciones y facilite un "diálogo común sobre arte y cultura".
El documento, con fecha de 27 de noviembre, fue divulgado por el Grupo de Trabajo de América Latina e incluye centenares de firmas, entre ellas las de los actores Danny Glover y Sean Penn, la novelista Cristina García y los escritores Gore Vidal y Alice Walker.

Los partidarios de un mayor intercambio cultural con Cuba expresaron su “consternación por la continua hostilidad hacia Cuba" por parte del Gobierno de Bush, y afirmaron que “es tiempo de avanzar hacia la cooperación y relaciones constructivas" con la isla.

La idea de enviar la carta a Bush surgió de otra que el mes pasado dirigió a "los intelectuales y artistas" de EEUU Alicia Alonso, directora del Ballet Nacional de Cuba y embajadora de Buena Voluntad de la UNESCO.

Letter from US Artists and Scholars in support of Cultural Relations with Cuba


November 27, 2007


President George W. Bush

The White House
Washington, DC


Dear President Bush:


We wish to bring to your attention the accompanying letter, dated October 26, 2007, received from Alicia Alonso, Prima Ballerina and Director of the Cuban National Ballet, and also Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). Ms. Alonso has toured extensively in the United States and her work has long been admired by the American performing arts community, cultural critics and the public.

We are writing you as representatives of the cultural sphere in the United States. We write you as American citizens. We write to express our dismay at your administration’s continuing hostility towards Cuba. We write to express our opposition to policies that keep us divided from our Cuban counterparts, preventing cultural interchange between our two countries. We believe the time has come to move towards cooperation and constructive relations with Cuba.

The present policies deny such possibilities of friendship and cultural sharing. We further note that cultural interchanges and relationships are also modes of communication and expression. In denying us the possibility of engaging in such exchanges and relationships, we are being denied our fundamental rights as guaranteed by the 1st, 5th and 14th Amendments of the U.S. Constitution.

This reality seems to run counter to other positions expressed by your Administration. In September 2006, for example, Laura Bush inaugurated your Administration’s “Global Cultural Initiative,” stating that "One of the best ways we can deepen our friendships with the people of all countries is for us to better understand each other's culture by enjoying each other's literature, music, films and visual arts."

As citizens, artists, scholars, educators and cultural workers from all artistic practices, academic disciplines, advocacy and service organizations in the arts, we hope you will read and consider the words of Alicia Alonso as we call upon your Administration to:

1. open a respectful dialogue with the government and people of Cuba in accord with established protocols supported by the community of nations;

2. end the travel ban that prevents U.S. citizens from visiting Cuba and allow for Cuban artists and scholars to visit the United States, thus eliminating the censorship of art and ideas, and

3. initiate, by working with appropriate members of Congress, a process that can result in the development of normal bilateral relations between our countries.


Sincerely,
