This Friday the Organizing Committee of the Pan American and Parapan American Games will present the Lima 2019 Cultural Program, called “Culturaymi”, with the slogan “A Celebration of Culture and Sport”.
This unique proposal will be carried out at the same time as the Games official competitions and will showcase Peru’s artistic and cultural wealth to impress the national and international public.
The Culturaymi activities will take place during the international event to celebrate the continent’s sport values and the diversity of the historic and artistic heritage of the Games host country. Several activities and events will be carried out during the Pan American and Parapan American Games until August 31.
To ensure content diversity, a call for Lima 2019 Cultural Projects was launched to select the independent projects that will be included in the Cultural Program.
The call is available on the website: www.lima2019.pe/programa-cultural. You can register and submit your project until May 27 to receive funding. There are five categories: visual arts, performing arts, music, clothing design, and art for social transformation.
The Cultural Program will reflect the Lima 2019 values such as excellence, friendship, respect, equality, courage, determination, inspiration and equality, promoting them for over 30 days outside of the official competition venues among the Peruvian community and the international public.
After the Games, this vast repertoire of exhibitions and activities will remain as a unique artistic and cultural legacy for the Peruvian community and will serve as a model for future artistic expressions.
