Oral traditions that heal
It is a virtual community event to celebrate our oral traditions as a tool for healing and promotion. In this event we seek to merge art and health promotion, while centering the voices of artists as the axis to share messages about the importance of vaccination and to raise awareness and educate the Afro-Latino community about our traditions.
Artists from Venezuela, Panama, Mexico and Puerto Rico, participated sharing verses and tenths from their oral traditions, as well included an interactive mini-workshop, where participants practiced collective creation with the guidance of an artist (in rooms for small groups) of verses, quatrains, couplets, seguidillas, related to COVID19, Mental Health and the Importance of Vaccines.
To continue we created Más versadas Sessions. A campaign that involved the virtual community of MÁS to listen to the participant’s décimas and interact with them creating new videos.
