What is CasaCuba?
CasaCuba is a first-of-its-kind destination that celebrates Cuban culture, achievements, and the Cuban American experience. Located at FIU’s Modesto A. Maidique Campus, CasaCuba will serve as a vibrant hub where visitors can gather, learn, and find inspiration through exhibitions, performances, and immersive experiences.
Blending culture, academia, and community, CasaCuba will showcase FIU’s Cuba-related collections, research, and public programming. It will honor the stories of immigration, resilience, and contributions that have shaped Cuban American identity while providing a forum for discussing Cuba-related topics and policy.
CasaCuba will stand as a testament to families who came with nothing and, through their will and their work, created our shared home. It will honor their legacy by preserving the Cuba story for future generations and sharing it with the world.
What will CasaCuba offer when it opens its doors?
Visitors to CasaCuba will experience a robust center encompassing the richness of Cuban culture from arts, industry, and exhibitions to preeminent research and education on Cuba and the Cuban diaspora, public lectures, and conferences, as well as a unique forum where policymakers, business leaders, faculty and students can gather and unite to discuss Cuban-related topics.
