Las Tunas.- Quality as a hierarchy in the cultural spaces of the province of Las Tunas was the topic debated today by the panel of the Alto y claro citizen participation program, in which it became clear that a more intentional and precise work is necessary and systematic to achieve such an important objective.
Based on the thoughts of the National Hero of Cuba, José Martí, of “Being a cult is the only way to be free”, the reflections of Fidel Castro and President Miguel Díaz-Canel, the analysis focused on the music that is disseminated without take into account the Cultural and Musical Policy of the country, which is violated in any space, whether state or private, without anything happening.
The panelists referred to the poor quality of some artistic presentations, and the music that is disseminated, the lack of public in the programmed activities and the poor promotion of culture, deficiencies that must be eradicated to maintain identity and contribute to training of the aesthetic taste of the audience.
It is also necessary to pay maximum attention to cultural programming, under the principle that programming cannot, in any way, be the result of inertia or spontaneity. It has to be an exercise in collective thinking that articulates criteria of those responsible for the institutions and the creators, and takes into account the demands and demands of the public, without the latter implying populist concessions that inevitably aim to enthrone mediocrity, but quite the opposite.
Another edge of the debate was centered on one of the principles of commission two of the Ninth Congress of the Union of Writers and Artists of Cuba dedicated to the social projection of culture, which insists on the need to work consistently for the correct and creative application of cultural policy in all spaces. Cultural policy is one. Ensure the quality of artistic presentations both those generated from state institutions and those managed by the non-state sector.
Cultural policy is not met in all state and private spaces of the province of Las Tunas, a deficiency that must be eradicated because the cultural identity of the nation is at stake, so we must resume the sentence of Fidel Castro when he said that it is necessary to wage a war against inculture, with the maximum development in favor of culture and very precisely in function of the Revolution, because the Revolution means, precisely, more culture and more art.
