On 18 October, the Asociaci\u00f3n Hermanos Sa\u00edz (AHS) celebrated 37 years of continuous work with young writers, artists, intellectuals and cultural promoters from all over the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the main activities to mark the anniversary was the official presentation of the Maestro de Juventudes Award<\/strong> in Havana, \u00abto recognise cultural personalities who are true maestros because of the dimension of their works and their human qualities\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The National Authority of the AHS announced via digital platforms that this year’s winners are \u00abthe poet and cultural critic Waldo Leyva Portal, the teacher and choir director Mar\u00eda Felicia P\u00e9rez Arroyo, the journalist and cultural critic Pedro de la Hoz Gonz\u00e1lez, the scenic artist Rub\u00e9n Dar\u00edo Salazar, the dancer and one of the jewels of the National Ballet of Cuba Aurora Bosch Fern\u00e1ndez and the scenic designer Zen\u00e9n Calero Medina\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the celebrations, the first collective exhibition of the Santiago de Cuba Photographic Club \u00abTom\u00e1s Padr\u00f3\u00bb was inaugurated in Santiago de Cuba under the title Ojos de Isla<\/strong> (Eyes of the Island).<\/p>\n\n\n

The exhibition, which offers \u00aba different vision of each of the artists who reveal their passion for photography in these times\u00bb, will remain at the Galer\u00eda Oriente, which belongs to the Cuban Fund for Cultural Assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u00abThree of our artists from the Visual Arts section are taking part in the exhibition: Reydi Zamora Rodr\u00edguez, Marlon Ren\u00e9 Aguilera Fleitas and Edgar Brielo,\u00bb reads the Facebook page promoting the work of the AHS in the Hero City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the province of Granma, the date coincides with the events proposed by the Fiesta de la Cuban\u00eda<\/strong>, an initiative that takes place as part of Cuba’s National Day of Culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Writers Gabriel Castro, Daniela Tas\u00e9 and Alexei Mendoza performed a poetry download and shared details of children’s literature created by the partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abThe young writers Rosabel Pi Gonz\u00e1lez and Alejandro Mu\u00f1oz Aguilera, who are in the process of joining our organisation, and Yoandra Santana, honorary member of the AHS Camag\u00fcey, participated, accompanied by the singer Reinaldo Rodr\u00edguez,\u00bb said the organisers of the activity on Facebook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The same social media reports that on the day of the 37th anniversary, a large Cuban Youth Art Fair<\/strong> was held in front of the AHS headquarters in Pinar del R\u00edo, with music, dance, poetry and performances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 18 October 1986, the AHS has brought together artists under the age of 35, paying tribute to the revolutionaries Sergio and Luis Sa\u00edz Montes de Oca, victims of the dictatorship imposed by Fulgencio Batista before 1959.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
