CAMAGÜEY.- Art is a language, effective to carry messages to other audiences, to arrive in other ways to more people, recognized, at the beginning of the Camagüey’s program of the 12th Cuban Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia, Mariela Castro Espín and Manuel Vázquez Seijido, Principal and Vice-principal of the National Sex Education Center (Cenesex). And on the second day it was also felt that way.

In the Gallery República 289, the collective exhibition Seven colors was inaugurated to show "a pluralist approach to love, desire and pleasure".

"We rely on the power of art to visualize and defend. (...) Understanding love as a universal energy that connects us is vital to achieve peace, to evolve as a society, "wrote, in the catalog, Lianny Montalván Salazar. The exhibition brought together works by 16 local artists in solidarity with this opportunity to embrace a cause of social justice.

The first audience of Seven colors came with flags, pullover and other supports with the rainbow, symbol of the LGBTI community (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and intersex people), from different places of the Archipelago and even from outside the country, they came to celebrate this day for inclusion and respect.

FARÁNDULA, DIFFERENT?

In the Avellaneda Theater, the work of Jazz Vilá projects had the main merit of showing on the tables, naturally, not heteronormative couples, sex, internalized homophobia, non-acceptance...

The audience applauded the crudeness with which the reality of many and the meritorious performances were drawn, although the characters did not escape stigmas on Orientals, the LGBTI community and professionals like the nurse and the artist.

The cultural aspect of the program in Camagüey closes on Friday May 17th, with the Cuban gala against Homophobia and Transphobia, which invites all of us to think and enjoy in the night, in the Principal Theater of this city.
