El Oficio Magazine
First Printed Edition. Issue 09 / June, 2021
Presented at Utopia126 during Les Festes de La Mercè
September 23-26, 2021
​
El Oficio magazine was founded in Havana in 2015 as a digital magazine of literature and art, with the purpose of developing and promoting independent cultural initiatives that contribute values to society. Today, El Oficio has a network of important professionals and a remarkable trajectory within the city's cultural alternative movement.
The multidisciplinary event Utopía-Habana was born on the occasion of the celebration of Les Festes de La Mercè of 2021, where Havana was a guest city. Placed in Barcelona from September 23 to 26, 2021, the main objective of this event was to show the most significant contemporary Cuban art, including cinema, music, dance, and visual arts. Therefore, the Cuban art magazine El Oficio was invited, as it is the main publication in Cuba today exclusively dedicated to contemporary visual arts with an international focus.

This was the first time an issue of the magazine got printed.
