Milady Bogner
Founder & CEO of HAVANA CONTEMPORARY
I was born in Havana, Cuba – a city where culture is not a luxury, but a way of life. My artistic journey began on stage: as a dancer, performer, and creative mind in Cuba’s vibrant live entertainment scene.
For more than 20 years, I have worked internationally as an artist, cultural producer, and project manager – always with a clear mission: to bring authentic Cuban art and artists into the global spotlight. I’ve curated and organized hundreds of stage productions, cultural events, and live shows across Europe and beyond – driven by passion, professionalism, and a deep commitment to cultural authenticity.
But my vision went further: I wanted to amplify not only the performative arts, but also also the visual arts of Cuba – with all their depth, narratives, and silent revolutions.
This is how HAVANA CONTEMPORARY was born – my personal mission and professional platform.
A bridge between the Cuban art scene and the international art market.
A stage for works that speak of identity, history, and the present.
Today, I’m proud to work with some of the most compelling Cuban contemporary artists – as a manager, advisor, and cultural ambassador. And I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity to represent my culture in all its complexity and beauty around the world.
HAVANA CONTEMPORARY is more than a project.
It is my mission.
And my cultural responsibility.
