The awarded entities were the Cubaniquel Community Environmental Education Cultural Center (Ecoarte), in the municipality of Moa; the local branch of the Union of Writers and Artists of Cuba (UNEAC); and the Biran Historical Site.

As a complement, each institution received a reproduction of the painting “The Heart with Which I Live,” a work by local artist Dayami Pupo Avila.

Nilcer Batista Perez, an official from the Ideological Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba in the province, expressed his gratitude for Marti’s legacy.

He emphasized on the importance of unity and social affection as the main paths for building the future in the face of current global armed conflicts.

The award, granted under Article 43 of the cultural organization’s bylaws, recognizes outstanding contributions to the material or spiritual work of its members.

The event was part of the fourth annual “Day of Affection: Marti in Holguin.”
