ABSTRACT
Within the history of conflict between Cuba and the United States, there exist some spaces of collaboration that, while little publicized, are sustained and growing. Cultural exchange between the two countries has overcome disagreements and ruptures. In the face of the tension which has characterized relations between Havana and Washington, the participants in these interchanges have been, to a great extent, the true diplomats representing each nation in the other: the channels for necessary and fertile people-to-people contact.
