Uruguayans to enjoy originals by Pablo Picasso for the first time

by the El Reportero’s news services

Uruguayans since Friday have the possibility to appreciate first hand the creative genius of Spanish painter Pablo Picasso through 45 original works under exhibition in Montevideo up to June 30.

The National Director of Culture, Sergio Mautone, expressed the importance of hosting a very powerful exhibition of original paintings of the great Picasso.

He emphasized that this opportunity has paved the road ‘to implement some actions that are going to help Uruguay to bring from now on important pieces from renowned painters’.

The initiative to have Picasso’s works coming to Montevideo came from the Picassso-Paris National Museum, whose President Laurent Le Bon hosted this exhibition under Emmanuel Guigon’s curatorship, Director of the corresponding Museum in Barcelona and under French Embassy auspices.

Director of the Visual Arts Museum, which will host the exhibition, Enrique Aguerre, explained there will be a free day of the week, and always with that benefit for children under 12 and people with disabilities, while retirees will enjoy a significant discount.

He assured that also the students with teachers, who schedule visits, will have access without cost, and already ‘we have more than 14,000 with reservation’.

Filmmaker Del Toro will create International Animation Center Mexico

by the El Reportero’s news services

Mexican filmmaker Guillermo del Toro announced the creation of the International Animation Center in the city of Guadalajara, in order to take advantage of the existing talent in the country.

During a conference at the 34th edition of the Guadalajara International Film Festival (FICG), he said on Suday that ‘this is a unique moment, we are breaking the model in animation.’

The film director commented that the goal is to work with series and feature films, with local talent ‘because we are looking for the next generation of filmmakers’.

We will try to convert it, he added, into a model that allows international production to give us a workshop to learn and then work on the projects, but that way there will be a connection between Guadalajara and the world.

Through this project, he considered, it will be possible to find great stories and believe in those stories; for that, the International Animation Center will play an important role.
The Guadalajara International Film Festival, which will conclude on the 15th, is considered the most solid meeting of its kind in Latin America, and its headquarters is the Telmex Auditorium where it paid tribute to the actress Blanca Guerra, who was awarded the Mayahuel de Plata prize and her film Day of the Dead by director Carlos Gutiérrez Medrano was screened.

Guerra remembered his passage through the various performing arts, especially in film alongside directors such as Arturo Ripstein, Carlos Carrera and María Novaro, among others. He also made an urgent call to support the production of Mexican cinema and seek to increase it.

The 34th edition of the Festival will exhibit 295 fiction films and documentaries from around the world. It will have 428 screenings in 30 commercial theaters and 113 films in the official section that will compete for the Mezcal Award for the best Mexican productions, and the Mayahuel Award for Ibero-American fiction and documentary productions.

During the last day of the event, which celebrated the centenary of Santiago Alvarez and 60 years of Cuban cinema in Revolution, it was announced that the coming event will be dedicated to Canada and will commit again for the validity of a cinematographic genre renewed with the times and technologies.

The theoretical seminar of this edition had significant solidarity moments with Venezuela in response to the imperial onslaught and added voices to the need to show with solid arguments, in images and sounds, the resistance of that people in defense of the conquests of the Bolivarian Revolution.

Artificer of the ICAIC News, declared World Memory by UNESCO, Santiago Álvarez left in 1998 when he died a vast trajectory that made him transcend in the Latin American and world cinema with documentaries that renewed the genre and reflected palpitating realities of the world.

Indigenous woman wins Nayarit beauty pageant for the first time

The Wixárika college student will be queen of the Nayarit state fair

by the El Reportero’s news services

An indigenous woman has won the contest to be the queen of the Nayarit State Fair for the first time.
Yukaima González, 18, from a Wixárika community in the mountainous municipality of Guadalupe Ocotán, is a second-year in college student majoring in sports and physical culture.

In an interview with the newspaper El Universal, the young beauty pageant winner said she hoped her participation in the contest would inspire her community.

“In my community we are losing our [indigenous] language, and residents are ashamed of wearing their traditional clothing. I’m here so that they’ll feel proud of our roots and who we are.”

González impressed contest judges during a “traditional dress” round with her outfit, which sported intricate bead work and traditional Wixárika god’s eyes. She also made an impression with her proposed social project, which would provide support to Nayarit’s isolated mountain communities to open artisanal bakeries to support self-employment and community well-being.

She was one of 15 contestants from each of Nayarit’s districts, and one of two indigenous women who, for the first time ever, competed in this year’s contest. The second participant was Adriana Díaz López, a Cora indigenous woman from the municipality of Nayer.

In a message on Twitter, state congresswoman Julieta Mejía attributed the young women’s participation to Oaxaca actress Yalitza Aparicio’s lead role in Roma, stating that “Alfonso Cuarón transformed something and there’s no going back.”

Many others shared the congresswoman’s opinion on social media, and during her interview with El Universal, González expressed her admiration for the actress, saying she was proud to have the opportunity as well to represent her community and its culture.

Viña del Mar Festival Celebrates Highly its 60th Anniversary
The Viña del Mar International Song Festival, considered here ”the largest Latin event in the world”, opens Sunday with a show in tune with the celebration of its 60th anniversary.

Regueton duo Wisin and Yandel, which returns to the scene after a long separation; the Chilean humorist Felipe Abello and the Colombian Sebastian Yatra, which causes furor among young Chilean girls are scheduled for the opening in Quinta Vergara, main venue of the event.

But this is only the button of the show, because until March 1, the closing day, international stars like Marc Anthony, David Bisbal, Marco Antonio Solis, Backstreet Boys, Bad Buny, Becky G, Raphael and Carlos Rivera will pass through the enormous stage, along with some very popular Chilean figures.

Although this Sunday is the start of the big concerts that are the main attraction of the festival, the event really began on Friday with a gala in which, with the exception of Yatra, none of the figures who wil seek to pocket the ‘monster’ was there, as is referred to the not at all pleasing public that crowds every year the Quinta Vergara.

Significantly, the old-fashioned neither exponents of the Chilean elite nor the most relevant figures of the country’s art and intellectuality were not there either.

Mexico Guarantees Funds to Support Film Production
The Ministry of Culture of Mexico guaranteed several funds to support the film production of Foprocine, Fidecine and Eficine, said its head Alejandra Frausto Guerrero to deny rumors to the contrary.

Frausto Guerrero also indicated that despite speculation about the Ariel awards, in 2019 these awards will be delivered as is already a tradition for several decades and reported that has already held meetings with members of the Mexican Academy of Arts and Cinematographic Sciences that organizes the contest to recognize filmmakers, performers, technicians and makers of Mexican films.

She recognized that the Ariel awards are very important for the national film industry, so the 61st edition of these awards is not cancelled, and will have the full support of the Ministry of Culture.

In Oaxaca, ‘Yalitza effect’ triggers move to revitalize Oaxacan culture

Indigenous art, culture and domestic workers’ rights get new attention in the state

by the El Reportero’s news servicesW

Oscar-nominated actress Yalitza Aparicio is an international agent of change, according to the governor of Oaxaca, where her fame is prompting authorities to act.

The success of the 25-year-old Mixtec star of Alfonso Cuarón’s film Roma has triggered a swift reaction from Oaxaca authorities, who have announced plans to revitalize the artistic and cultural life of the state’s indigenous communities and pledged to improve the labor rights of domestic workers.

Oaxaca Governor Alejandro Murat has also announced a new tourist route from Mexico City to Aparicio’s home town of Tlaxiaco.

The preschool teacher-turned-actress missed out on an individual Oscar at Sunday night’s Academy Awards but Murat still described Aparicio – who plays the role of a domestic worker in Roma – as a winner and a star who is capable of helping to change discriminatory attitudes towards indigenous people around the world.

The governor said that state authorities are looking at proposals to improve the labor rights and benefits of domestic workers, stating that the government will provide them with social security, a retirement pension and housing credits.

Murat added that his government will seek to create a culture in which people treat women working in their homes as another member of the family rather than just an employee.

The governor also said the people of Oaxaca are very proud of Aparicio, the success of Roma at the Oscars and the fact that Cuarón continues to help promote the state as he did in his 2001 film Y Tú Mamá También, which features the Oaxacan coastline.

Murat explained that there was a possibility that the state government would invite Cuarón, his production team and the cast of Roma to Oaxaca to work together on a new project.

Murat explained that there was a possibility that the state government would invite Cuarón, his production team and the cast of Roma to Oaxaca to work together on a new project.

She added that the city will be invited to participate in this year’s Guelaguetza, an annual festival that celebrates Oaxacan culture, with a specific focus on Tlaxiaco’s food and architecture.
Aguilar also said that state authorities will seek to reinvigorate the Mixtec artistic, cultural and music scene and, with the support of the National Autonomous University (UNAM), work to preserve the native languages spoken in Oaxaca.

Meanwhile, the mayor of Tlaxiaco has announced that the municipal government will bestow its highest honor on Aparicio in recognition of her status as a distinguished citizen.

The actress has also inspired at least two murals, one in the market of her hometown and another in the Mexico City borough of Iztapalapa while singer-songwriter Humberto Reyes has composed a ballad called El Corrido de Yalitza Aparicio.

Although Aparicio’s success has triggered a negative reaction from some, many people are celebrating the actresses’ emergence as a new –and different – role model and her representation of Mexico on the world stage.

Congratulating Cuarón for taking home three Oscars, federal Culture Secretary Alejandra Frausto wrote on Twitter: “Congratulations, you made the world see the diversity of the country we are.”

Armando Manzanero returns to Cuba attracted by salsa and habanos

por los servicios de noticias de El Reportero

The 21th Habano Festival and the fourth Salsa Festival attract the Mexican singer-songwriter Armando Manzanero, who says he admires the island for his music, joy and strength.

This is the second time that I have the pleasure of being here, even though I was raised in a very close place, in Yucatan, said the author of iconic themes such as Somos novios and Nada personal. Manzanero attended the opening gala of the Salsa Festival, held in the Metropolitan Park of Havana, venue of the event until Feb. 24.

There he arrived to greet the local singer Hayla María Mompié, who recently published an album with 11 songs by the Mexican to which he incorporated the Cuban-like tone of his salsa.

During the show, Hayla -as he is known in the artistic world- left the planned repertoire to interpret Adoro y Huele a peligro, two other paradigmatic themes of Manzanero.

At the discretion of this teacher, salsa music does not change much between Venezuela, Cuba and Puerto Rico.

Everything is tropical and everything has a charm and an enormous talent, affirmed the Mexican artist, very willing to dance, at 83 years of age.

In addition to Hayla, the opening gala was the young orchestra Papucho and Manana Club, as well as the Puerto Rican singer Jerry Rivera, who revived a great part of his successes in this capital.

The pieces discovered by archaeologist Alfonso Caso in tomb seven of the Zapotec site and dubbed “The Treasure of Monte Albán” include objects made of gold, jade, rock crystal and jaguar bones, among other materials.

The exhibition, made up of a total of more than 600 artifacts, is housed in Room 3 of the Oaxaca Museum of Cultures and will be inaugurated at a ceremony at 7 p.m. The general public can visit starting on Saturday, Feb. 23.

Curators have updated the exhibition by including plaques offering new interpretations of the pieces, while the integration of modern technology will also contribute to providing an enhanced experience for visitors.

The name of the exhibition is Tomb Seven: The Place of the Ancestors.
INAH archaeologist and exhibition curator Nelly Robles told the newspaper El Economista that as a result of new research it is now known that “tomb seven was an ossuary and not a tomb for a specific dignitary.”

She said that both Zapotec and Mixtec people used the tomb, the latter leaving human remains, jewels and precious materials that were “the relics of their ancestors.”
Robles added that the Mixtec people also held ceremonies at the tomb at which they asked for favors from their deities.

The presiding gods of the tomb were Mictlantecuhtli, Mesoamerican god of death and the underworld, and Xipe Tótec, a life-death-rebirth deity.

Both are represented in the different objects found by Caso in 1932, Robles said.
The archaeologist explained that the Mixtec people first started carrying out rituals at the tomb around 1350 AD and continued to do so until the early days of the Spanish colonial era.
The reopening of “The Treasure of Monte Albán” to the public is part of celebrations marking the 80th anniversary of the creation of INAH in 1939.

Paintings by Beryl Landau & Anthony Holdsworth
Holdsworth features the start of a new series entitled “Day and Night in the Mission”. Using a LED lamp attached to his easel, he documents locations as they transition into night.

The Mission District offers a unique window on Latin America while simultaneously enriching the culture of San Francisco. He works on site to channel the unique energy of this community and also to bear witness to the changes that are being forced on it by gentrification.

Beryl Landau calls her work “symbolic landscape”. The acrylic paintings in this show depict geographical locations but evoke inner feelings. Each image draws the viewer into a particular space and mood. Landau’s clear colors range from high contrasts to subtle gradations.

Images of changing San Francisco are prevalent in her recent work. The paintings often convey the juxtaposition of nature and the modern world.

Alley Cat Gallery, 3036 24th Street, San Francisco. Exhibition from March 2 to 31

What’s New At The Presidio – Spring, 2019
March – May Events Announced

It’s not too early to plan a spring visit to the Presidio, San Francisco’s urban national park with nearly 1,500 acres of space in which to play, right at the foot of the Golden Gate Bridge. With two historic boutique hotels, Lodge at the Presidio and Inn at the Presidio, delicious restaurants and various activities, the Presidio can be a vacation destination in itself, or added to any San Francisco itinerary as a calm oasis close to the action of downtown.

Nature comes alive in the Presidio in springtime, and visitors are always welcome to stop by the Presidio Visitor Center to pick up a hiking map and suggestions for exploring the park’s free picnic areas, overlooks and trails

Transportation in the Park

The free PresidiGo Shuttle takes visitors from two locations in downtown San Francisco to the Presidio, and PresidiGo’s Around the Park service offers visitors two routes within the park. San Francisco MUNI buses access the Presidio as well. Options for bike rental include Sports Basement and Electric JUMP Bikes. See: https://www.presidio.gov/transportation

The popular Presidio Picnic mobile food extravaganza, sponsored by the Presidio Trust and Off the Grid, returns to the Main Post lawn each Sunday beginning March 31. Self-guided adventures in nature always await, especially in spring as the park’s flora and fauna awake to the season.
