Havana, Feb 27 (Prensa Latina) The Women by Eyeife Festival returns to the stage of the Cuban Art Factory (FAC) cultural center in this capital, where concerts, theoretical sessions and an extensive program produced by women will take place, its organizers announced today.
Coinciding with International Women’s Day, this event, on March 7 and 8, in its third edition will feature high-calibre female talent and among the guests are Mayvic Delgado, Cintia López, Camila Pardo, Eme Alfonso, Rochy Ameneiro, who will offer workshops on gender issues.
Also important researchers related to entrepreneurship and cultural industries in Cuba.
As part of the workshop programme, the UNESCO Regional Office in Havana will host the space entitled “Women who create the future: the potential of entrepreneurs in the cultural and creative industries”, which includes the presentation of an academic study and a panel discussion.
Women by Eyeife brings together artists from different scenes in the same space and among the participants are exponents of electronic music from Cuba, such as Madame Butterfly, Frehela, Thalai and from Mexico the DJ Katia Crown.
The artists Camila Guevara, Melanie Santiler, the three Enid Rosales, Yarima Blanco and Jany Quiñones, and the vocal group Chiksoul from the Música es mujer project are also joining.
This proposal is complemented by the music-dance group Fanm-Zetwal, which will offer a unique show with the strength and passion of Afro-Haitian traditions and the Afropium project in its female version, the organizers explained at a press conference.
For the development of Women by Eyeife we have the support of the Cuban Institute of Music, the Provincial Directorate of Culture of Havana, the Transcultura Program of UNESCO and the European Union, the Embassies of Spain and Norway, the British Council, the Electroacoustic Music Laboratory and the space that has become the home and founding headquarters of Women, FAC, they added.
The female-led creative group Madwoman, who has been an important ally for this edition through communication and entrepreneurship, shows that it is possible to rescue the country’s advertising tradition.
FAC’s Naves One, Three and Four will be the venue for this festival and a space that promotes art/artist integration and promotes direct exchange with the public, placing Women by Eyeife as an opportunity to gain in artistic growth and solidity.
On this occasion, the festival reaffirms itself as a platform for the creation of experiences, female talents in music, dance, photography, entrepreneurship, research and communication.
