[00:08:29] project laboratories and some actions
[00:08:33] for schools and children. It is
[00:08:36] organized by the Italian Association
[00:08:39] "20 de Septiembre," this festival has become
[00:08:42] throughout this time one of the most important
[00:08:46] cultural spaces in the region, with the promotion of
[00:08:49] cinema and the exchange of experiences as its
[00:08:53] main axes.
[00:09:12] We change continents. China inaugurates
[00:09:15] in Wuhan the Film Culture Carnival that unites
[00:09:18] cinema and cultural tourism. The event
[00:09:22] promoted by the government seeks to boost the local
[00:09:25] economy. It is organized by the National Film Administration and
[00:09:29] China Media Group, linking film
[00:09:33] locations with tourist routes of
[00:09:35] Hubei, with immersive programs, creative
[00:09:39] markets, tours, exhibition spaces with some
[00:09:43] technological demonstrations and technical
[00:09:46] workshops. The film celebration also seeks
[00:09:49] to stimulate cultural consumption and
[00:09:53] project Chinese audiovisual industry. The
[00:09:56] carnival is part of the national
[00:09:59] strategy that promotes the fusion between cinema and
[00:10:02] tourism, as I said earlier, all this to
[00:10:05] boost regional
[00:10:07] economies.
[00:10:25] and UNESCO and the International Union of
[00:10:28] Architects, the UIA, by its acronym, designated
[00:10:31] Beijing as the World Capital of
[00:10:34] Architecture 2029. Let's talk a little about this
[00:10:38] recognition, because it is awarded every 3 years,
[00:10:42] highlighting the city's role in sustainable urban development,
[00:10:46] culture and heritage preservation. The
[00:10:49] selection of Beijing in this case, was due to its
[00:10:53] ability to combine its architectural legacy
[00:10:57] with its innovative vision of urban development. UNESCO
[00:11:00] highlighted the
[00:11:04] fabric, as well as the successful regeneration
[00:11:08] projects and a vibrant
[00:11:11] architectural culture that all demonstrate
[00:11:14] how heritage and a vibrant architectural
[00:11:18] culture that all demonstrate how
[00:11:21] heritage and innovation can
[00:11:25] coexist, can coexist to create
[00:11:28] resilient cities. The Director
[00:11:31] General of UNESCO also expressed his hope that Beijing's
[00:11:35] heritage will inspire international dialogues
[00:11:37] on the impact of architecture.
[00:11:51] And at the Women's Museum, this is in Vietnam,
[00:11:55] the exhibition "Intertwined Bonds: 50 Years of
[00:11:58] Diplomatic Relations between Thailand and Vietnam"
[00:12:02] was inaugurated. During the ceremony, which
[00:12:05] coincided with the official visit of Thai parliamentary
[00:12:09] leader Sophon Saram, the development
[00:12:13] of friendship and cooperation between both countries
[00:12:17] over five decades was highlighted. The
[00:12:20] exhibition, which will be open to the public until
[00:12:23] August 12, exhibits some traditional costumes
[00:12:27] and highlights the cultural
[00:12:30] women in the preservation of heritage.
[00:12:33] In addition, at the event, the expansion
[00:12:36] of some exchanges and
[00:12:39] legislative coordination to strengthen the comprehensive
[00:12:43] strategic partnership between the
[00:12:45] nations was discussed, all with the aim of increasing
[00:12:49] bilateral
[00:12:49] trade.
[00:14:25] of the International Ballet Competition of
[00:14:27] South Africa.
[00:14:33] Young competitors from various regions of the country,
[00:14:36] as well as from other latitudes, were present
[00:14:39] at the event to show their
[00:14:41] talent.
[00:14:45] More than a hundred participants from South Africa,
[00:14:48] Cuba, Russia, United Kingdom,
[00:14:51] Australia, Mauritius, among other
[00:14:54] countries, presented their performances at the
[00:14:59] classical ballet, contemporary dance,
[00:15:03] duets, trios,
[00:15:06] groups and choreographic
[00:15:07] division.
[00:15:16] We are achieving the goal of training. Last year we became
[00:15:19] members of the International Ballet Competition
[00:15:22] Federation.
[00:15:26] and senior, each one offered the public a
[00:15:29] sample of their creativity, skill and
[00:15:32] abilities.
[00:15:37] I was very inspired by Michaela de Prince, because she was from Africa and was
[00:15:41] adopted, and I love the whole process of working hard at something, putting
[00:15:44] so much energy and effort into something and reaping all the rewards and what
[00:15:48] led me to ballet and I just fell in love with
[00:15:51] it.
[00:15:54] The group of judges was also varied with representatives from
[00:15:58] South Korea, United States, Germany,
[00:16:01] Belarus, Austria and Russia. The
[00:16:05] parents accompanying the competitors highlighted the
[00:16:09] dedication of their children in each
[00:16:11] work.
[00:16:14] when she dances outside, because we don't have a studio, we don't have
[00:16:18] bars where she can train, she does it next to the grass,
[00:16:21] so other children watch her next to the fence
[00:16:25] and admire what she does, it's a blessing, I don't want to
[00:16:28] lie, it's a
[00:16:29] blessing.
[00:16:33] The winners of this international ballet competition will have
[00:16:37] the opportunity to perform alongside professional dancers from
[00:16:41] South Africa and other countries in
[00:16:44] shows around the
[00:16:45] world.
[00:17:17] International Communication of the
[00:17:20] Hongshan Culture to learn about one of the
[00:17:24] oldest expressions of Chinese
[00:17:26] civilization with more than
[00:17:29] 500 years of history. My general
[00:17:33] impression is how the Chinese are preserving their history, they can
[00:17:36] trace their history. Up to 5 years ago in my country
[00:17:39] we have history, but why don't we preserve it like these people
[00:17:43] did? That's something that really impressed me, also
[00:17:47] there are the artifacts we found here, the dragon-shaped jade
[00:17:50] and other objects, when you see how they were made with simple tools
[00:17:54] you understand how intelligent and creative those
[00:17:58] people were. The agenda of the meeting included visits
[00:18:02] to the Hongshan Culture Museum and the New
[00:18:05] Lang archaeological site. one of the
[00:18:08] main sites of this culture,
[00:18:12] where ceremonial spaces, altars,
[00:18:16] tombs and jade objects were
[00:18:19] discovered, which reveal the social
[00:18:23] complexity and spiritual expressions of one of the oldest
[00:18:26] prehistoric societies
[00:18:29] of humanity. This archaeological site, the museum where
[00:18:33] artifacts are preserved and displayed to the public, is very
[00:18:37] important for new generations, so they can
[00:18:40] learn about the history of humanity, human
[00:18:44] civilization, where it began, what happened before and how they can
[00:18:48] connect that with what is currently happening, you cannot
[00:18:51] move towards the future if you do not know the past and
[00:18:55] I believe that the future and the past are always
[00:18:58] connected, we learn many things from the past that
[00:19:01] we can use in the future. Beyond
[00:19:04] research and heritage preservation.
[00:19:22] As a keynote speaker, it is very important to show the world
[00:19:26] where China was and where it is currently from a cultural
[00:22:17] in celebration, this is the traditional August
[00:22:21] parade that fills the capital's streets with color and joy,
[00:22:25] traditional folklore mixes with contemporary characters,
[00:22:28] floats, queens, clowns and lots
[00:22:31] of fun, the parade is, in addition to being of
[00:22:35] all those nights, the one that Salvadoran families enjoy the most because it is the safest, the cleanest, the most
[00:22:39] orderly and of course the float, all the peace bands and all the characters
[00:22:42] that exist in this environment, there are new rides,
[00:22:46] there are light shows, there are drone shows, in addition to the musical band.
[00:22:50] there's everything, the August festivals are
[00:22:54] dedicated to the patron saint of Salvadorans, the Divine Savior of
[00:22:57] the World, and gather thousands of families in different
[00:23:00] settings. Oh, super great, very
[00:23:04] cheerful, always with great joy and many
[00:23:08] people, yes, visit the rides, well the rides, the circuses
[00:23:12] and everything that El Salvador presents.
[00:23:15] Like all popular festivals in the region, mechanical games cannot
[00:23:19] be missing. A space for fun that gathers national
[00:23:22] and foreign tourists and also becomes a Creole
[00:23:26] gastronomic fair. We have crazy corn,
[00:23:30] French fries, Spanish churros,
[00:23:32] stars, plantain and yucca toasts,
[00:23:36] and shaved ice. We don't
[00:23:39] have them right now, but we always have candied
[00:23:42] apples. But not everything is fun and
[00:23:46] entertainment. Religious tradition occupies an important
[00:23:50] place in the festivity. This is the most important procession for the
[00:23:54] Catholic community that gathers thousands of
[00:23:56] devotees who carry the carriage of the Divine Savior of the World to the
[00:24:00] central plaza. We celebrate the
[00:24:04] patron saint festival of our patron of the
[00:24:06] republic, the Divine Savior of the World, who invites
[00:24:10] all of us to
[00:24:13] put ourselves at God's disposal so that from faith
[00:24:17] in solidarity,
[00:24:21] in defense of the rights of the weakest, of the
[00:24:24] victims, of the vulnerable, that's
[00:24:27] it, so I hope that we all become aware
[00:24:31] of living the gospel so that the transfiguration of the Lord
[00:24:35] may be a message for all of transfiguration,
[00:24:38] personal transfiguration and transfiguration of the environment and of
[00:24:42] our country. In the heart of the historic center, in front of the
[00:24:46] metropolitan cathedral, the traditional descent of the
[00:24:49] Savior of the World takes place. It is the act of transfiguration that shows the
[00:24:53] image of Jesus, descending with red garments and emerging
[00:24:57] with a white tunic as a symbol of divinity, reliving
[00:25:00] the biblical passage before the apostles on Mount
[00:25:04] Tabor before his resurrection. The
[00:25:06] rain, which has also become a tradition every August 5, did not stop the
[00:25:10] devotion of thousands of pilgrims who participated until the end
[00:25:14] in this traditional descent of the Divine Savior of the
[00:25:16] World. Roberto Hugo Presa, Telesur.
[00:25:31] guilds demand the derogation of Law
[00:25:34] 32645 that creates the Professional Association of
[00:25:38] Artists, with this norm they consider that it seeks
[00:25:42] to limit the creative freedom of
[00:25:45] expression and censor critical voices
[00:25:48] against the government.
[00:25:58] The rejection of the law that creates the professional association of artists continues
[00:26:01] to grow, due to the fact that it violates the freedom of
[00:26:05] creation and promotes the exclusion of
[00:26:08] artists who do not have a university
[00:26:10] degree, as stated by various cultural
[00:26:14] managers, this association goes against the very
[00:26:17] nature of art, why
[00:26:20] it is not worth it, no,
[00:26:23] it is not right, a professional association of artists versus
[00:26:27] a professional association of doctors or engineers, for example,
[00:26:31] because what a professional association does is protect the
[00:26:34] citizen from malpractice,
[00:26:37] so what malpractice can
[00:26:41] art have that harms third parties?
[00:26:44] None, it is an elitist
[00:26:46] space
[00:26:50] the professional association of artists will do.
[00:26:53] The norm proposes to order and strengthen the
[00:26:57] exercise of the arts through the
[00:27:00] accreditation of a professional degree,
[00:27:03] a bachelor's degree in artistic
[00:27:05] education, a fact that is exclusive, since
[00:27:09] the majority are self-taught,
[00:27:12] this law does not represent us,
[00:27:16] this law divides us, this law generates
[00:27:19] hierarchies, this law ignores, this
[00:27:22] law makes invisible, that is, this law should not exist,
[00:27:26] definitely not, this unites
[00:27:28] us.
[00:27:30] According to the national network of workers of culture and arts,
[00:27:33] about 50% of artists
[00:27:37] learned their activity through
[00:27:40] a family or community tradition,
[00:27:43] 32% self-taught and
[00:27:45] only 20%
[00:27:49] attended a university, this
[00:27:52] must be seen within a set of
[00:27:56] cinema law, which also has censorship,
[00:27:59] but yes, clearly, obviously.
[00:28:02] What does it seek? It seeks to start persecuting, to establish certain
[00:28:06] limits for artists and above all, taking into
[00:28:10] account the scarce, the scarce
[00:28:13] support given by the state, if that scarce support given by the
[00:28:16] state begins to be, let's say,
[00:28:19] instrumentalized through these associations and these
[00:28:23] situations, it can be very
[00:28:26] dangerous.
[00:28:28] For the interviewees, the norm seeks to control critical voices
[00:28:33] and political opponents, since
[00:28:36] it prohibits holding management positions to those who are
[00:28:39] disqualified from public office, as is the
[00:28:43] case of former prosecutor of the nation Delia Espinosa,
[00:28:47] who now heads the Lima Bar Association. We have
[00:28:51] a commitment to present a law that precisely repeals this
[00:28:54] professional association, there has been a campaign that
[00:28:57] seeks precisely from the space of art and culture
[00:29:01] workers to repeal this norm, so we, as
[00:29:05] a parliamentary group, at the level of deputies, will present this bill
[00:29:08] and we will also make it a multi-party
[00:29:10] initiative. According to the specialists
[00:29:14] consulted, this is not an isolated norm, since
[00:29:18] it is part of a series of laws contrary to the public
[00:29:21] interest and that cut rights
[00:29:25] to control spaces of critical thought.
