TASTE MORENO CONCERT

Sabor Moreno was born in 2003, the group's objective is rescuing the cultural traditions of Afro-descendant communities in the province of Arica. Their presentations invite the public to learn about music, dance and tradition, taking them on a journey full of stories and parties.

Sabor Moreno has made various artistic presentations in Santiago, Valparaíso, Arica, Iquique, among other cities. 

BLACK FILM

Address:Medhin Tewolde Serrano

Country:Mexico

Gender:Documentary film

Duration:71 min

Synopsis:I was about seven years old the first time someone called me "black" on the street. I turned to see who they were addressing, until I realized it was me. That day I realized that I was black, and the laughter it provoked among the people nearby made me think that being black was not so good... Was it only happening to me? Or did it happen to other black women? "Negra" shows the director in her quest to explore what it means to inhabit Mexico as a black woman. It tells the story of five Afro-descendant women from southern Mexico, exposing racism, resistance and self-acceptance processes, strategies to transcend stereotypes, and the celebration of their identity.
