Abstract
Este artículo considera el papel de la Organización de Solidaridad con los Pueblos de África, Asia y América Latina (OSPAAAL) en la promoción de una visión latinoamericana, tricontinentalista de la solidaridad interregional del Tercer examina, por un lado Mundo. En el texto se argumenta que Cuba hizo uso de las artes visuales y de la comunicación gráfica para enmarcar y replantear determinados eventos históricos, utilizando a la OSPAAAL como un canal de ideas revolucionarias procubanas, tal como circularon entre las luchas de liberación nacional y en los llamados a la acción por la solidaridad internacionalista. El arte visual producido por la OSPAAAL permitió a Cuba promover una interpretación particular de la Guerra Fría como la continuación del colonialismo en la búsqueda de conseguir el respaldo transnacional para las luchas de liberación nacional en el Medio Oriente y África, así como para promover a la propia revolución cubana. En particular, se, la forma en que se ha utilizado el enfoque visual del equipo gráfico de OSPAAAL en el momento de cruzarse con otras estrategias de activismo solidario transnacional cuyos objetivos eran la promoción entre miembros lejanos de ideales revolucionarios y de puntos en común y, por otro lado, como esta producción gráfica ha influido en los programas de cooperación internacional de las Naciones Unidas y, asimismo, en la representación del perfil Castro en el seno del Movimiento de Países No Alineados.

Abstract.- This article considers the role of the Organization of Solidarity with the Peoples of Africa, Asia, and Latin America (OSPAAAL) in championing a Latin American, tricontinentalist vision of Third World solidarity between these regions
It examines the way that the visual approach used by the artists working with OSPAAAL intersected with other modes of transnational solidarity activism to promote revolutionary ideals and commonalities between distant participants and in order to influence international cooperation at the United Nations and in advancing Castro’s profile within the Non-Aligned Movement
At the United Nations, the Afro-Asian Peoples’ Solidarity Organization (AAPSO) had organized a platform formalized in 1960 from which to advance the goals of national liberation in Africa and Asia, and by 1973, with the independence of Guinea-Bissau, the Permanent Secretariat of AAPSO joined by the Soviet Solidarity Committee, decided to convene their 12th session in Moscow in 1975.32 AAPSO was founded on the principles of anti-colonialism and much of its energy was directed to garnering international support for revolutionary struggle, and very to the fight against apartheid
Summary
Abstract.- This article considers the role of the Organization of Solidarity with the Peoples of Africa, Asia, and Latin America (OSPAAAL) in championing a Latin American, tricontinentalist vision of Third World solidarity between these regions. Audiences, such as at the United Nations, and shortly after created OSPAAAL in order to increase the presence of Latin American and Caribbean nations in these forums, and to challenge the redirection of what was emerging as the Third World movement away from what Fidel Castro considered Nasserist compromises This conference was the result of the careful planning and orchestration on the part of many, that of Ernesto “Che” Guevara and Moroccan leader Mehdi Ben Barka, with the intention of creating a more central position for Cuba in internationalist organizing, and OSPAAALs mandate closely reflected this purpose.[14] OSPAAAL’s early years coincided with the short-lived Organización Latinoamericana de Solidaridad (OLAS), extant from 1966 to 1967, which was founded at the same time by 27 Latin American delegations to the Tricontinental Conference, with the express goal of coordinating resistance across the region to the imperialism of the United States and in response to the recent Sino-Soviet split, articulating the Cuban position on the ideal path to socialism. Sending direct military and humanitarian assistance were not the only means by which Cuba signaled its willingness to advance internationalist revolutionary objectives
