On May 25, 2018, a special event was held
as part of the “Palabras en el Mundo”
(Words in the World) International Poetry
Festival. In Vancouver, Canada this event
was co-organized by Proyecto Cultural Sur
– Vancouver and Vancouver Communities in
Solidarity with Cuba (VCSC). This annual
evening of poetry, song, dance, and friendship
was held in Burnaby’s Central Park, among
the peaceful trees and water. The setting of
the event reflected the theme, which was
dedicated to Mother Earth and to water, and
to celebrating and protecting our natural
environment.
Proyecto Cultural Sur – Vancouver is part
of an international network which nurtures
Latin American culture by
bringing people together to share
poetry, music, and dance. The
organization has worked together
with Vancouver Communities in
Solidarity with Cuba over several
events, including on May 25,
to create cultural events which
bring together a broad group of
people from the Latin American
community and other diverse
communities.
“Palabras en el Mundo” was emceed by Proyecto
Cultural Sur President Lucy Ortiz, who invited
up a number of people to share poetry as well as
beautiful dances and songs. After an evening
of sharing together, diplomas of participation
were given to all who contributed their art and
everyone gathered together for a group photo
with the beautiful natural backdrop of the
park and under the open skies.
