THE Latin America Memorial is a cultural, political and leisure complex, inaugurated in 1989 as a centre for the integration of the continent. Its architecture is by Oscar Niemeyer.
It houses a permanent collection of art on display in- and outdoors and a library of over 30,000 titles, and holds numerous exhibitions, conferences, debates and all manner of performances.
In the middle of its central “public square” there is a more than seven-metres-tall modernist concrete sculpture of an open hand with a vermilion red “stigmata” wound cut into the middle of the palm, shaped like the Central and South American continents, including Cuba.
