Cúcuta’s Cultural Renaissance: An Interview with Dr. Emilia Ramirez, Cultural Heritage Consultant
Archyde News is proud to present an exclusive interview with Dr. Emilia Ramirez, a leading Cultural Heritage Consultant, on the exciting developments surrounding the Municipal Program of Stimuli 2025 in San José de Cúcuta. This initiative promises to revitalize the city’s cultural landscape, and Dr. Ramirez offers valuable insights into its potential.
Interview with Dr. Emilia Ramirez
Archyde News: Dr. Ramirez, thank you for joining us. Cúcuta’s investment in culture through the Municipal Program of stimuli 2025 is generating considerable buzz. What are your initial thoughts on this program?
Dr. Ramirez: thank you for having me. I’m thrilled to see this level of commitment to culture in Cúcuta. The program’s focus on strengthening multicultural expressions and fostering regional identity is precisely what’s needed to solidify a community’s sense of belonging and pride. The emphasis on “comparsas”, or traditional street performances, is especially meaningful, as these are frequently enough the heart and soul of local celebrations.
archyde News: The program emphasizes decentralization, holding socialization conferences across various communes to ensure broad participation. Why is this approach so crucial?
Dr. Ramirez: Decentralization is key to inclusivity. By taking the program directly to the communities, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, along with the Mayor’s office, can ensure that every corner of Cúcuta has the opportunity to benefit. Frequently enough, centrally-located programs can unintentionally exclude smaller groups or communities who might not have the resources or awareness to participate. bringing the information directly to them levels the playing field.
Archyde News: The program also promises different phases, namely creation, circulation, training, and cultural research. How do these phases contribute to a holistic cultural growth strategy?
Dr. Ramirez: The phases are what I’d call pillars of a strong cultural ecosystem. Creation provides the raw material – the new artistic expressions. Circulation ensures that these expressions reach the widest possible audience, fostering awareness. Training is essential for equipping artists and cultural organizations with the skills they need to thrive, and lastly, cultural Research provides a foundation for understanding, documenting, and preserving the local heritage which lays the groundwork for future innovations.
Archyde news: the program encourages the creation and promotion of “comparsas.” Can you elaborate on the importance of these traditional street parades for preserving cultural heritage?
Dr. Ramirez: absolutely. Comparsas are living embodiments of culture. They are multi-sensory experiences that weave together music, dance, costumes, and storytelling. They are often passed down through generations,ensuring the continuity of traditions. By investing in comparasas, the program supports the people/community and it also helps to promote local stories, values, and history within a playful framework of the culture.
Archyde News: The program also aims to boost the arts and the economy. What are some of the ways cultural investment can stimulate economic growth in a city like Cúcuta?
Dr. Ramirez: The benefits are numerous and interconnected. A vibrant cultural scene makes a city more attractive to tourists, which creates jobs in hospitality, tourism, and related sectors. It can also spark the development of local businesses that serve the arts, such as workshops, costume makers, and music schools. Moreover,a vibrant cultural landscape enhances a city’s brand and sense of place,making it more attractive to investors and a better place to live.
Archyde News: For interested organizations and residents to get involved, how can they better understand the program?
Dr. Ramirez: The program offers a good list of socialization conferences and a direct way to be in touch with the whole process. The events provide clear information on participation requirements, the conditions of the call, all documents, and evaluation criteria that are a good way to go, as well as an opportunity to network with other organizations. I also encourage anyone interested to attend the sessions with a list of questions to make the most of the experience.
Archyde News: considering Cúcuta’s approach, what advice would you give to other municipalities looking to replicate this kind of cultural investment strategy?
Dr. Ramirez: First, a holistic, long-term vision is necessary. this means investing in *all* aspects of the cultural cycle, including creation, preservation, training, and promotion. Secondly, community engagement is paramount. Listen to your communities, involve them in the planning and decision-making, and ensure that the programs reflect their interests. Lastly, transparency and accountability are crucial. Make sure that all processes are open, accessible, and well-documented, and that the program is evaluated regularly in order to adjust as needed.
