Young artists from Ciego de Ávila took the pulse of the culture of the territory. Author: rebellious youth

CIEGO DE AVILA. Folk gossip says that culture has no fixed space or time. Despite the recent origin, we should already be looking for the origin of this phrase.

But what no one should doubt is that cultural action sometimes (and quite a lot) needs a physical space and a spiritual moment to coincide in order to avoid stumbling blocks on the path to creativity.

The idea came to mind during the provincial assembly of the association Hermanos Saíz de Ciego de Ávila, when the artist Luis Enrique Milan Bosa pointed out the constant readiness of the creator to always have an idea, a project, something to do before getting into trouble. y comfort zone of regrets despite real hardships.

Luis Enrique has made a name for himself in recent years thanks to his intelligence, talent, hard work and perseverance.

However, these qualities are now being put to the test once again as his Viertes project is in the process of transitioning from UEB of the Cuban Foundation for Cultural Property to a cultural space, and he has to face all sorts of roles, including gas at work. sculptures.

“In some cases,” he said, “some people choose the comfort zone of regret. We choose to work, but we need to clear the path of these obstacles.”

A similar idea was expressed by participants in the Décima cuerda project, dedicated to surprise.

These boys traveled in a bottle to Havana to enroll in space. palm trees and reedsThey arrived without sleeping and not having breakfast, sang and at the same time went to the back line.

This passion has made them winners of various surprise competitions in Cuba. However, it is striking, as they pointed out in the debate, that the province does not quite have a fixed space for the study and practice of this genre, when Ciego de Ávila is the real territory of the improvisers.

It was not only about the project, but also about the space that cultural activity should have as a means of social welfare.

Thus, a fresco was mentioned, made in the central part of Ciego de Ávila, on the wall of the Carmen cinema, which does not show the best artistic qualities and which clearly did not provide for legislative principles for this type of work. take into account, as the young writer Yasmani Rodriguez Alfaro pointed out.

Also the need to claim, protect and preserve local and national monuments, an AHS concern pointed out by Camara Pereira Rey, an actress and member of the performing arts section, who pointed out the accumulations of debris in the Jucaro forts. trail to Moron, proven in community activities.

Another problem was the maintenance of the theatre’s premises, the poor condition of which had caused a large number of interventions at the previous meeting.

From that moment, the repair process began, slowed down due to lack of resources. However, in some places where work facilities have been performed, there are places that were not of adequate quality, and today there are headaches due to leaks and stopped functions.

Despite these difficulties, the AHS in Ciego de Ávila withstood the winds and tides. Its participants participated in the main events of the territory, the last edition of the Flower Games had about 30 authors in the competition – one of the largest visits in history – and the emergence of an audiovisual movement is welcome, which is very desirable. long time in the field of culture.

“There are issues of a material nature, and, without a doubt, they must be resolved,” said Lebanon Izquierdo Alonso, first secretary of the provincial committee of the party. If the builders do something wrong, they need to be sued, and the artists need to be there, in control of what is being done, and loudly, because they need to listen to them.

“Now there are issues that run through the spiritual and that is the will to do, to create, not to tire, and this is where the AHS has its greatest potential and has shown it throughout this time.”

At the end of the meeting, the delegates ratified the current AHS Presidency, which includes Santa Massiel Rueda Moreno as President and Claylis Aurora Benítez Castro and Alejandro Quiñones as Vice Presidents.

Santa Massiel Rueda Moreno, Cleilis Aurora and José Angel Guevara Tamarit were elected delegates to the congress.
