Shape who we are

We unite from trust, democracy and freedom to embrace and redefine our cracks 

Cultural organizations come together to listen to our territories through art and generate a citizen conversation that calls for reflection. We are democracy, freedom, trust. We are a footprint on the Earth.

Culture is closely related to our human nature. The different forms of artistic manifestation correspond to the need or, rather, to the fundamental characteristic of expression that human beings possess. Culture plays a mediating and driving role in life in society, since music, theater, dance, and the plastic arts, through their creation, transmit not only emotions, but also deep messages, and make us reflect on our existence. , social problems and life in general. In them we can form our critical thinking because they show us the essence of individuals, societies and the understanding of our world. From this perspective, we become facilitators with the ability to repair, heal wounds, transform a society, reconcile with ourselves and with others.  

The organizations that have assumed the responsibility of working for the integral development of people, from culture, want to build trust in difference, and we see the urgency of a broad conversation about the world we want, a vital dialogue about the present and the future. future, that puts on the table our cultural diversity and the natural diversity of the territory we inhabit. 

We want to talk about democracy, how we feel it, live it and its meaning in our territory. We know that we can rebuild a more humane and free world, and we also know that to achieve this we must let culture move us with its transformative force towards new ideas and sensibilities.  

A movement without limits that embraces freedom, making culture a dynamic, inclusive and participatory entity that invites us to listen to each other and make new social agreements based on trust.
