No money for Havana Biennial because of increased repression in CubaThe Prince Claus Fund and Hivos will not provide financial support to the 2003 Havana Biennial this year because of increased repression by the Cuban government. What considerations prompted this decision? >>> PULSE: artists in social projectsThe South African collective PULSE has invited artists to participate in Hive, a project for Aids victims. >>> International conference wants to protect cultural diversitySpecialists from non-western countries will meet this month in Amsterdam for the Reclaiming Cultural Diversity conference. Three public debates will be conducted simultaneously. >>> Art in the 'new' AngolaA group of young artists in the Angolan coastal city of Benguela sees an important role for itself in the ‘new’ Angola. >>> Brazilian girls learn to break through taboos with photos and videoPhotographing their living environment forces girls to think about the role patterns in which they grew up. That is the idea behind this new initiative. >>> Festival designed to refine the Danish image of AsiaThe Images of Asia festival will be held in Denmark from 8 August through 26 September. About 450 Asiatic artists and intellectuals are participating in the event. >>> Achievements of the Tunisian WomanLeïla Ben Ali, wife of the Tunisian president, opened The Tunisian Woman, partner with equal rights conference in August. >>> Locarno Festival: Top prizes for Hubert Bals Fund films and symposium about films from developing countriesTwo films to which the Hubert Bals Fund (HBF) has contributed won first and second prize at the 56th Locarno Film Festival. >>> Stillness in the African film AbounaAbouna tells the story of two boys in West-Africa longing for their vanished father. >>> Next 5 Minutes links art and politicsThe Next 5 Minutes festival, to be held from 11 through 14 September
