The Claustrofobias project, from Santiago de Cuba was selected as a finalist in the XVII edition of the national competition Culture and processes of local and community development, organized by the Centre for Exchange and Reference Community Initiatives (Cleric).
Literary promotion for Cubans youngsters from the virtual community is the theme proposed by Claustrofobias, in line with the work carried out systematically in both its urban environment and on the Internet. To do this, the Santiago project proposes to consider a new look to the community processes in our country since the concepts traditional community, virtual community, and others, but always with top three definitions: Cuba, nation and sovereignty.
According to managers Claustrofobias, writer Yunier Riquenes and designer Naskicet Dominguez, the use of new technologies for cultural promotion in Cuba today is an urgent and necessary task, important to close the gap between public and culture.
After reading, discuss and exchange views and assessments on the projects submitted to the seventeenth edition of the National Competition, the jury decided to select a total of 10 finalists' experiences.
