“Highly positive”
El Tribuno contacted Roberto Salvatierra, president of Pro Cultura Salta, an entity that has held 47 editions of the meeting that is already part of the annual calendar, the Salteño Cultural April.
“The results of this Cultural April were highly positive,” the cultural manager began by saying, and developed: “The objective was more than anything to highlight the extraordinary lives of a number of artists who are still alive and that society, to some extent, way, you don’t have them displayed”.

“And also in this sector of society, that of our elders, after the pandemic many of them have not managed to insert themselves socially and culturally in choral, theatrical, musical activities and neither as spectators nor as art producers,” Salvatierra analyzed.
“So, the objective of this Cultural April was to bring them back to these spaces, and also to remember what they did, because generally young artists are unaware of these great older artists,” said the president of Pro Cultura Salta, and He added: “The new is always what attracts the most attention and the old… well ‘it happened somewhere’, but that link is often broken.”
Unite generations
This new edition sought to unite generations of young and established artists, and several activities had that denominator. “Our older artists were protagonists through exhibitions, book presentations, recognitions… And the privileged public for whom this entire Cultural April was intended, for the most part, was the elderly public,” said Salvatierra.

“That balance has been positive,” he said, and concluded: “We have managed to install for another year the theme that we chose to put on stage, as it is a real problem. In this case, the oblivion, the abandonment of our elders and discuss their place in our society through health policies, economic policies that leave them more neglected every day.”
“In this April of the greatest, Elina Neyman, Jorge Cornejo Albrecht, Elsa Villalobos, Domingo Gatti and Isidoro Zang, Carlos Caro, Néstor Troncoso, Antonio Chávez, Thelma Palacios and many others were some of the many artists who have exhibited in an exhibition collective in the College of Notaries,” he listed. The central exhibition that inaugurated Cultural April was dedicated to Tata Portal, one of our greatest artists.

“We have also recognized not only cultural work, but cultural journalism, work and dedication through the cycles in which journalists who are already retired, but who continue producing, such as Humberto Echechurre, Nelson Muloni, participated. , Bernardo Rabinowicz, Néstor Salvador Quintana,” he said. “And also writers like Marcelo López Arias, who recently presented his book, Rosa Machado, Virgilio Núñez… many of our writers have been protagonists of this calendar,” he said.
Choirs, ensembles and orchestras
“For the closing, we have chosen the choral activity, one of the most representative of our elders, since in the dance activity we had already dedicated a tribute to our folklore teachers in the House of Culture,” he said about the program to develop today. “There will be five choirs, from the Secretariat of the Elderly, the university and independent and they will participate together with the Youth Orchestra, directed by Carolina Pineda, and the coordination of choirs will be in charge of Adolfo Neto. We are going to enjoy with our elders, paying tribute with some surprises to some protagonists who have given everything, in this case for music and choral activity,” he said.

“This Cultural April has managed to move the protagonists of political actions and welfare policies to take into account that culture is very important in the elderly; not only keeping them healthy, but also ensuring that they develop their creative abilities. In this, the University of The Third Age has had a great role, because, apart from generating activities, it has enhanced the role of this type of institutions that depend on the State,” Salvatierra concluded.
“Grandparents go back to school” was part of the Salteño Cultural April.
