Tema del Concurso: “Las historias de mi ciudad”
Cada uno de nosotros vive en una ciudad que cuenta con una rica cultura y un patrimonio singular, cada una con sus propias historias. Estas narrativas pueden abarcar relatos orales, tradiciones antiguas, historias populares o relatos sobre monumentos históricos, entre otros, que contribuyen a la identificación de la ciudad con la que se vive. Relatos que reflejen la historia, la cultura, la mitología y las transformaciones sociales de su ciudad, y que susciten en los participantes sentimientos de orgullo y pertenencia. En esta ocasión, bajo el tema “Las historias de mi ciudad”, solicitamos que expresen sus relatos a través de la pintura.
