A space in Cuba for diversity, art, and inclusion

Havana, Sep 29 (Prensa Latina) Enjoyment, visual arts, and shared experiences among diverse groups marked the opening day of the 4th Creative Movement for Inclusion Workshop, which runs until October 2. At the Bertolt Brecht Cultural Center, participants—most of whom have some form of disability—put their skills into practice, creating shapes, colors, and lines under the guidance of project founder Eva Gonzalez and Spanish specialist Silvia Ferrer.

The workshop approached diversity from multiple angles and sparked initiatives that stirred emotions among the attendees, fostering a need for self-discovery.

“That is what it’s about—expanding sensations, too,” Ferrer told Prensa Latina. “Someone might not be able to visualize the color red, but they feel it in a special way.”

“For us, the process is very important; in this initial session, we focused on enjoyment, play, and exploration,” added the Spanish specialist, who has extensive experience in individual and group therapeutic support using expressive arts.

“In Spain, I work with groups of diverse backgrounds, and expressive arts have the capacity to generate pleasure and creativity; they also help you get to know yourself,” she noted.

Over the course of several days, the 4th Creative Movement for Inclusion Workshop serves as a setting where the capabilities of diverse individuals are enhanced, grounded in respect, courage, and empathy for others.
