Camagüey, May 9. - With the purpose of bringing together professionals from the mass media, cultural institutions and students of the country, the eighth edition of the National Colloquium of Cultural Journalism will arrive in this city, from June 12 to 15.
Sponsored by the Hermanos Saíz Association (AHS, for its acronym in Spanish) and the Union of Cuban Journalists in Camagüey, this event will have literature as its central theme, although visual arts exhibitions, concerts, and other exchange spaces will also come together.
Diosmel Galano Oliver, vice president of the AHS in the territory, told the Cuban News Agency that young creators are called to the responsible exercise of criticism and the Colloquium maintains the objective of enhancing the presence of the genre in the Cuban media.
He added that this will also be a space to celebrate the 40 years of the Pablo de la Torriente Brau Publishing House with a special moment of the panel dedicated to the chronicle as a link between literature and journalism.
It is a privilege, he said, to receive representatives of the five AHS publishing houses in Camagüey to learn about their work in promoting young writers.
Defending culture and perfecting the ways of its dissemination will be lines of work of the meeting, which seeks to enrich the knowledge of professionals who deal with cultural issues.
The Colloquium will be accompanied by another edition of the Criticar es Querer (Criticizing is Wanting) competition, focused on a critical view of audiovisual material where young people up to 35 years of age, whether or not they are members of the organization, can participate by sending an unpublished text to diosmelgo@gmail.com, with a maximum of 100 lines and Arial 12 font.
A single Prize will be awarded, consisting of five thousand Cuban pesos, an accrediting diploma and the publication of the article as part of the Pórtico Collection of the AHS and the Ácana Publishing House, where the works of the contest finalists and young researchers with valuable texts will also be present.
