00:08:39"20 de Septiembre," this festival has become
00:08:42throughout this time one of the most important
00:08:46cultural spaces in the region, with the promotion of
00:08:49cinema and the exchange of experiences as its
00:08:53main axes.
00:09:12We change continents. China inaugurates
00:09:15in Wuhan the Film Culture Carnival that unites
00:09:18cinema and cultural tourism. The event
00:09:22promoted by the government seeks to boost the local
00:09:25economy. It is organized by the National Film Administration and
00:09:29China Media Group, linking film
00:09:33locations with tourist routes of
00:09:35Hubei, with immersive programs, creative
00:09:39markets, tours, exhibition spaces with some
00:09:43technological demonstrations and technical
00:09:46workshops. The film celebration also seeks
00:09:49to stimulate cultural consumption and
00:09:53project Chinese audiovisual industry. The
00:09:56carnival is part of the national
00:09:59strategy that promotes the fusion between cinema and
00:10:02tourism, as I said earlier, all this to
00:10:05boost regional
00:10:07economies.
00:10:25and UNESCO and the International Union of
00:10:28Architects, the UIA, by its acronym, designated
00:10:31Beijing as the World Capital of
00:10:34Architecture 2029. Let's talk a little about this
00:10:38recognition, because it is awarded every 3 years,
00:10:42highlighting the city's role in sustainable urban development,
00:10:46culture and heritage preservation. The
00:10:49selection of Beijing in this case, was due to its
00:10:53ability to combine its architectural legacy
00:10:57with its innovative vision of urban development. UNESCO
00:11:00highlighted the
00:11:04fabric, as well as the successful regeneration
00:11:08projects and a vibrant
00:11:11architectural culture that all demonstrate
00:11:14how heritage and a vibrant architectural
00:11:18culture that all demonstrate how
00:11:21heritage and innovation can
00:11:25coexist, can coexist to create
00:11:28resilient cities. The Director
00:11:31General of UNESCO also expressed his hope that Beijing's
00:11:35heritage will inspire international dialogues
00:11:37on the impact of architecture.
00:11:51And at the Women's Museum, this is in Vietnam,
00:11:55the exhibition "Intertwined Bonds: 50 Years of
00:11:58Diplomatic Relations between Thailand and Vietnam"
00:12:02was inaugurated. During the ceremony, which
00:12:05coincided with the official visit of Thai parliamentary
00:12:09leader Sophon Saram, the development
00:12:13of friendship and cooperation between both countries
00:12:17over five decades was highlighted. The
00:12:20exhibition, which will be open to the public until
00:12:23August 12, exhibits some traditional costumes
00:12:27and highlights the cultural
00:12:30women in the preservation of heritage.
00:12:33In addition, at the event, the expansion
00:12:36of some exchanges and
00:12:39legislative coordination to strengthen the comprehensive
00:12:43strategic partnership between the
00:12:45nations was discussed, all with the aim of increasing
00:12:49bilateral
00:12:49trade.
00:14:25of the International Ballet Competition of
00:14:27South Africa.
00:14:33Young competitors from various regions of the country,
00:14:36as well as from other latitudes, were present
00:14:39at the event to show their
00:14:41talent.
00:14:45More than a hundred participants from South Africa,
00:14:48Cuba, Russia, United Kingdom,
00:14:51Australia, Mauritius, among other
00:14:54countries, presented their performances at the
00:14:59classical ballet, contemporary dance,
00:15:03duets, trios,
00:15:06groups and choreographic
00:15:07division.
00:15:16We are achieving the goal of training. Last year we became
00:15:19members of the International Ballet Competition
00:15:22Federation.
00:15:26and senior, each one offered the public a
00:15:29sample of their creativity, skill and
00:15:32abilities.
00:15:37I was very inspired by Michaela de Prince, because she was from Africa and was
00:15:41adopted, and I love the whole process of working hard at something, putting
00:15:44so much energy and effort into something and reaping all the rewards and what
00:15:48led me to ballet and I just fell in love with
00:15:51it.
00:15:54The group of judges was also varied with representatives from
00:15:58South Korea, United States, Germany,
00:16:01Belarus, Austria and Russia. The
00:16:05parents accompanying the competitors highlighted the
00:16:09dedication of their children in each
00:16:11work.
00:16:14when she dances outside, because we don't have a studio, we don't have
00:16:18bars where she can train, she does it next to the grass,
00:16:21so other children watch her next to the fence
00:16:25and admire what she does, it's a blessing, I don't want to
00:16:28lie, it's a
00:16:29blessing.
00:16:33The winners of this international ballet competition will have
00:16:37the opportunity to perform alongside professional dancers from
00:16:41South Africa and other countries in
00:16:44shows around the
00:16:45world.
00:17:17International Communication of the
00:17:20Hongshan Culture to learn about one of the
00:17:24oldest expressions of Chinese
00:17:26civilization with more than
00:17:29500 years of history. My general
00:17:33impression is how the Chinese are preserving their history, they can
00:17:36trace their history. Up to 5 years ago in my country
00:17:39we have history, but why don't we preserve it like these people
00:17:43did? That's something that really impressed me, also
00:17:47there are the artifacts we found here, the dragon-shaped jade
00:17:50and other objects, when you see how they were made with simple tools
00:17:54you understand how intelligent and creative those
00:17:58people were. The agenda of the meeting included visits
00:18:02to the Hongshan Culture Museum and the New
00:18:05Lang archaeological site. one of the
00:18:08main sites of this culture,
00:18:12where ceremonial spaces, altars,
00:18:16tombs and jade objects were
00:18:19discovered, which reveal the social
00:18:23complexity and spiritual expressions of one of the oldest
00:18:26prehistoric societies
00:18:29of humanity. This archaeological site, the museum where
00:18:33artifacts are preserved and displayed to the public, is very
00:18:37important for new generations, so they can
00:18:40learn about the history of humanity, human
00:18:44civilization, where it began, what happened before and how they can
00:18:48connect that with what is currently happening, you cannot
00:18:51move towards the future if you do not know the past and
00:18:55I believe that the future and the past are always
00:18:58connected, we learn many things from the past that
00:19:01we can use in the future. Beyond
00:19:04research and heritage preservation.
00:19:22As a keynote speaker, it is very important to show the world
00:19:26where China was and where it is currently from a cultural
00:22:17in celebration, this is the traditional August
00:22:21parade that fills the capital's streets with color and joy,
00:22:25traditional folklore mixes with contemporary characters,
00:22:28floats, queens, clowns and lots
00:22:31of fun, the parade is, in addition to being of
00:22:35all those nights, the one that Salvadoran families enjoy the most because it is the safest, the cleanest, the most
00:22:39orderly and of course the float, all the peace bands and all the characters
00:22:42that exist in this environment, there are new rides,
00:22:46there are light shows, there are drone shows, in addition to the musical band.
00:22:50there's everything, the August festivals are
00:22:54dedicated to the patron saint of Salvadorans, the Divine Savior of
00:22:57the World, and gather thousands of families in different
00:23:00settings. Oh, super great, very
00:23:04cheerful, always with great joy and many
00:23:08people, yes, visit the rides, well the rides, the circuses
00:23:12and everything that El Salvador presents.
00:23:15Like all popular festivals in the region, mechanical games cannot
00:23:19be missing. A space for fun that gathers national
00:23:22and foreign tourists and also becomes a Creole
00:23:26gastronomic fair. We have crazy corn,
00:23:30French fries, Spanish churros,
00:23:32stars, plantain and yucca toasts,
00:23:36and shaved ice. We don't
00:23:39have them right now, but we always have candied
00:23:42apples. But not everything is fun and
00:23:46entertainment. Religious tradition occupies an important
00:23:50place in the festivity. This is the most important procession for the
00:23:54Catholic community that gathers thousands of
00:23:56devotees who carry the carriage of the Divine Savior of the World to the
00:24:00central plaza. We celebrate the
00:24:04patron saint festival of our patron of the
00:24:06republic, the Divine Savior of the World, who invites
00:24:10all of us to
00:24:13put ourselves at God's disposal so that from faith
00:24:17in solidarity,
00:24:21in defense of the rights of the weakest, of the
00:24:24victims, of the vulnerable, that's
00:24:27it, so I hope that we all become aware
00:24:31of living the gospel so that the transfiguration of the Lord
00:24:35may be a message for all of transfiguration,
00:24:38personal transfiguration and transfiguration of the environment and of
00:24:42our country. In the heart of the historic center, in front of the
00:24:46metropolitan cathedral, the traditional descent of the
00:24:49Savior of the World takes place. It is the act of transfiguration that shows the
00:24:53image of Jesus, descending with red garments and emerging
00:24:57with a white tunic as a symbol of divinity, reliving
00:25:00the biblical passage before the apostles on Mount
00:25:04Tabor before his resurrection. The
00:25:06rain, which has also become a tradition every August 5, did not stop the
00:25:10devotion of thousands of pilgrims who participated until the end
00:25:14in this traditional descent of the Divine Savior of the
00:25:16World. Roberto Hugo Presa, Telesur.
00:25:31guilds demand the derogation of Law
00:25:3432645 that creates the Professional Association of
00:25:38Artists, with this norm they consider that it seeks
00:25:42to limit the creative freedom of
00:25:45expression and censor critical voices
00:25:48against the government.
00:25:58The rejection of the law that creates the professional association of artists continues
00:26:01to grow, due to the fact that it violates the freedom of
00:26:05creation and promotes the exclusion of
00:26:08artists who do not have a university
00:26:10degree, as stated by various cultural
00:26:14managers, this association goes against the very
00:26:17nature of art, why
00:26:20it is not worth it, no,
00:26:23it is not right, a professional association of artists versus
00:26:27a professional association of doctors or engineers, for example,
00:26:31because what a professional association does is protect the
00:26:34citizen from malpractice,
00:26:37so what malpractice can
00:26:41art have that harms third parties?
00:26:44None, it is an elitist
00:26:46space
00:26:50the professional association of artists will do.
00:26:53The norm proposes to order and strengthen the
00:26:57exercise of the arts through the
00:27:00accreditation of a professional degree,
00:27:03a bachelor's degree in artistic
00:27:05education, a fact that is exclusive, since
00:27:09the majority are self-taught,
00:27:12this law does not represent us,
00:27:16this law divides us, this law generates
00:27:19hierarchies, this law ignores, this
00:27:22law makes invisible, that is, this law should not exist,
00:27:26definitely not, this unites
00:27:28us.
00:27:30According to the national network of workers of culture and arts,
00:27:33about 50% of artists
00:27:37learned their activity through
00:27:40a family or community tradition,
00:27:4332% self-taught and
00:27:45only 20%
00:27:49attended a university, this
00:27:52must be seen within a set of
00:27:56cinema law, which also has censorship,
00:27:59but yes, clearly, obviously.
00:28:02What does it seek? It seeks to start persecuting, to establish certain
00:28:06limits for artists and above all, taking into
00:28:10account the scarce, the scarce
00:28:13support given by the state, if that scarce support given by the
00:28:16state begins to be, let's say,
00:28:19instrumentalized through these associations and these
00:28:23situations, it can be very
00:28:26dangerous.
00:28:28For the interviewees, the norm seeks to control critical voices
00:28:33and political opponents, since
00:28:36it prohibits holding management positions to those who are
00:28:39disqualified from public office, as is the
00:28:43case of former prosecutor of the nation Delia Espinosa,
00:28:47who now heads the Lima Bar Association. We have
00:28:51a commitment to present a law that precisely repeals this
00:28:54professional association, there has been a campaign that
00:28:57seeks precisely from the space of art and culture
00:29:01workers to repeal this norm, so we, as
00:29:05a parliamentary group, at the level of deputies, will present this bill
00:29:08and we will also make it a multi-party
00:29:10initiative. According to the specialists
00:29:14consulted, this is not an isolated norm, since
00:29:18it is part of a series of laws contrary to the public
00:29:21interest and that cut rights
00:29:25to control spaces of critical thought.
00:29:28From Lima for Telesur, Ramiro Angulo Maquiabelo.
