Convened by the Honorary Chair of Oriental Folklore "Manuel Angel Marquez": Dance, Tradition and Thought, the third edition of the French-Haitian cultural days is dedicated to the 160th anniversary of the French Tomb "La Caridad de Oriente", to the 120th anniversary of the Barranca group, to the 40th anniversary of the Casa del Caribe and to the first anniversary of the physical disappearance of Ernesto Armiñan Linares, founding president.
Artistic presentations and documentary film proposals will make up this exchange.
The creation of the Honorary Chair at the ISA Santiago de Cuba branch has among its objectives to contribute to the preservation, strengthening and promotion of the values of cultural identity from an approach to the study of syncretic cults, the cultural events they generate and the artistic and cultural expressions through which they are manifested.
In particular, the promotion of artistic work linked to traditional popular culture on the university campus may be an appropriate way to strengthen relations between the university, the network of universities in Santiago de Cuba and cultural institutions in the region, with the aim of recognizing the work of cultural affirmation in that part of the country.
