The event will take place on Saturday, June 15 at the University City of the provincial capital. “In addition to defending our sovereignty and democratic diversity, we want to value the potential for the development of creativity and cultural, informative and audiovisual productions in Córdoba,” the organization indicated.
The I Regional Congress of Culture and Communication is part of the preparation for the Federal Congress of Culture and Communicationwhich in August will take place in the city of La Plata.
The federal event arose from the initiative of the union centers that represent the workers –CGT, Workers’ CTA and Autonomous CTA– and of Federal Cultural Front; and has been adding memberships in different parts of the country.
In CordovaCongress has the support of the National University of Córdoba, the faculties of Arts, Communication and Social Sciences of the UNC, the Faculty of Humanities and the Communication major of the University of Río Cuarto, the University Publishing House of Villa María, the unions linked to cultural and communication activity of the province and different groups that bring together those who are protagonists of the sectors involved.
“In the face of the advance of the national government on life and cultural and communication development in our country, in the face of a context of dehumanization of workers and the breaking of the most deeply rooted social ties and values in our society, the answer must be forceful“, they state in the call document.
The proposal promotes an articulation of proposals and the work tables that will be developed at the event will come together in a contribution
Cordoba to a Federal Culture and Communication strategy.
They express from the organization: “We seek to create new proposals to face the harsh sociocultural reality that we are going through. In every corner of the province there are makers of culture and communication, art and the most diverse expressions who see their development possibilities diminished day by day. The advance of the national government on historical cultural policies and the subjugation of rights cannot remain unanswered. In addition to defending our sovereignty and democratic diversity, we want to value the potential for the development of creativity and cultural, informative and audiovisual productions from Córdoba.”
They highlight that cultural and communication rights are the pillars of any democratic and republican society. In that sense, It has been proposed that the Córdoba regional congress be made up of a broad participation that brings together the voices and experiences of each point of the provincial territory. Dance, theater, music, performing arts, plastic arts, cinema and audiovisual arts, popular libraries, communication, public and alternative media; all represented in one place to discuss current affairs and the future.
In the end, the organization maintained: “The richness of Cordoba’s history and cultural present, with all its territorial nuances, must be protected; From the deep interior to the capital, let us walk towards a great meeting in which we can recognize ourselves and organize ourselves to advance in the construction of a Federal Culture and Communication Strategy that improves regulations, financing and institutional organization. We Cordobans defend and promote our culture and our communication; as central axes that cross and shape our lives, as an expression of sovereignty, as a democratic practice.”
The Congress will begin at 10:00 in the auditorium of “D” batteries, located on Avenida Valparaíso corner Enfermera Gordillo in Ciudad Universitaria.
