Portraits in Guatemala
Guatemala - More than five centuries of
notable Cuban women were represented in the
Guatemalan Embassy on the occasion of
International Women's Day.
Women and the Homeland is the name of the
exhibition of several portraits by Antonio
Guerrero, one of five anti-terrorists jailed
for more than 10 years in the United States.
There are images of the Taino aborigine
Casiguaya, the wife of Hatuey the first
martyr for the liberation of Cuba who
opposed Spanish colonization that continues
to women internationalists of today.
Notable among the portraits are Mariana
Grajales and Leonor Perez, mothers of the
national heroes Antonio Maceo and Jose
Marti, respectively, Vilma Espin, heroine of
the Revolution and founder of the Cuban
Women’s Federation and Mirtha Rodriguez,
mother of Guerrero.
They are all great women of their time,
forgers of the future, examples of
combatants for a better world, declared the
political attaché of the embassy, Santiago
Feliu.
Nicaraguan Marta Guadalupe Romero and the
Guatemalan Silvia Solorzano spoke of the
situation of women in Central America.
Among their challenges are access to
education and health, equality of gender and
a greater participation in posts of
political decisions.
The event had the participation of
representatives of different solidarity with
Cuba organizations, friends of the
Revolution and accredited diplomats in the
country. |
