The Romerías confirm that utopias are possible

The Romerías de Mayo in the city of Holguin confirm that utopias are posible. As they are also a dream achieved by young people with the support of many other people and institutions to sustain themselves, said Yasel Toledo Garnache. National president of the Hermanos Saíz Association (AHS) this Wednesday.

He told the Cuban News Agency that the event was born in 1994, in the midst of the difficult Special Period. As a reflection of the will, ability, and dreams of the organization’s members. An example of this were the alternatives employed during the COVID-19 era to maintain it virtually. He described the event as the main platform for promoting the AHS in its physical space, and one that creators always want to attend.

Furthermore, it provides a fundamental spirituality in difficult times like the current ones, as its agenda includes concerts, book presentations, theater presentations, exhibitions, and scientific exchanges at Bloguerías and Memoria Nuestra.

For example, which help us understand society and propose ideas for its better development, he expressed. Toledo Garnache stated that the Festival becomes a space “to socialize, dream, and imagine the better Cuba we all aspire to, hence the importance of maintaining and growing this project, despite the difficulties existing in the nation.”

He highlighted the participation of artists from Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Peru, and Venezuela, and the Second Transnational CREAC Meeting. An international cooperation initiative promoted by the AHS that unites art, training, and entrepreneurship in pursuit of culture.

The Romerías de Mayo, an event that will conclude tonight with a performance by the prestigious Los Van Van orchestra, is dedicated in its 32nd edition to the cultural industries in support of young artists.
