On Wednesday, the Gibara International Poor Film Festival inaugurated two visual arts exhibitions, an event that reinforces the cultural exchange and resilience of the region.
Sponsored by the municipal government of Vallecillo, in the Mexican state of Nuevo León, the exhibition “De Vallecillo a Gibara” (From Vallecillo to Gibara) features 93-million-year-old fossils that reveal a shared prehistoric marine past between both regions.
Micaela López, Director of Culture for the Mexican municipality, highlighted the rich archaeological heritage of Vallecillo's rural areas. Meanwhile, Alberto Roque, representing the Mexican delegation, emphasized that art serves as a unifying bridge for the peoples of Latin America.
Concurrently, “El último bosque” (The Last Forest)—a two-person exhibition by Cuban artists Amanda Tamayo and Daliana Seoane, curated by Elisabet Betancourt—was unveiled. This showcase explores creative processes and interpretations of daily life in eastern Cuba.
Both art exhibitions served as a prelude to the film festival's traditional opening parade, an event that has championed the convergence of diverse artistic expressions within the Gibara community for over two decades.
