\u00abDe Am\u00e9rica soy hijo y a ella me debo\u00bb is the phrase by Jos\u00e9 Mart\u00ed chosen to title the mural that will be inaugurated on May 23rd on the north wall of Plaza Sim\u00f3n Bol\u00edvar in Caracas, Venezuela.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This monumental work is created by Abdusalan Ter\u00e1n Tase, a Cuban artist residing in the Venezuelan capital, who serves as the artistic director of the Jos\u00e9 Mart\u00ed Cultural Society in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Rub\u00e9n Rodr\u00edguez, president of the Mart\u00ed institution, who informed Radio Enciclopedia, the project is a joint effort between the Government of the Capital District of Venezuela and the Cuban embassy in the Bolivarian nation. Its location is significant as the square houses the statue of the Liberator, which Mart\u00ed mentions in his essay \u00abTres h\u00e9roes<\/strong>,\u00bb published in the magazine \u00abLa Edad de Oro<\/strong>.\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mural measures eight meters in length and two meters in height, is painted with acrylic on textured plaster, and aims to \u00abreflect various historical, heritage, and cultural sites of Cuba and Venezuela, as well as moments, figures, and heroes of our independence, intertwined in the political, military, cultural, and historical chronicles of both nations, in various contexts that reaffirm our shared expression of brotherhood in history, progress, solidarity, and the interlinking of both countries and cultures within our American context,\u00bb explains Rodr\u00edguez, also the project’s manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isabel Messuti, a Venezuelan plastic artist who has discovered Cuba with love, also accompanied the realization of this artistic work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inaugural event will feature speeches from three orators: Nahum Fern\u00e1ndez, Head of Government of the Capital District; Dagoberto Rodr\u00edguez Barrera, Ambassador of Cuba to the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela; and Rub\u00e9n Rodr\u00edguez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The phrase that names the mural, widely recognized in the historical struggles of the Cuban people after the triumph of the Revolution, is taken from the farewell letter dated July 27, 1881, that the Apostle of Cuban Independence sent to Fausto Teodoro de Aldrey, director of the influential Caracas newspaper \u00abLa Opini\u00f3n Nacional<\/strong>,\u00bb where Mart\u00ed published several of his writings. This phrase encapsulates the Americanist spirit of the Cuban people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Venezuela was dear to the National Hero of the Republic of Cuba, as reflected in many of his ideas, such as the one expressed in the same letter: \u00abLet Venezuela tell me how to serve her: she has a son in me.\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n
