Students will have an intense schedule with artistic languages in the next University Circuit of Culture and Art (Cuca) of the National Union of Students (UNE). The strategy was defined, this Sunday (5), in Rio de Janeiro, in a seminar at Fundição Progresso. The meeting took place within the 13th UNE Biennial – Students’ Festival, which ended today, in the capital of Rio de Janeiro.
In an interview with Brazil Agency, the coordinator of Cuca/UNE, Paola Soccas, highlighted that the moment is super important for UNE because it presents the entity’s university circuit of culture and art to the student movement. In this edition of the Bienal, there was a greater number of students who did not know Cuca, she explained. “We made a great effort to bring in the former national coordinators and to produce materials so that the states can now return armed with the tools for them to be able to discuss and formulate what the next paths will be.”
The period of six months until the next national activity will mark the construction of an intense agenda for the formulation of artistic languages so that students can discover, organize and systematize the demands for the federal government, both for culture, as well as for education and the environment.
This afternoon, closing the work on the Biennial, the traditional “Culturata” will leave Fundição Progresso, a kind of procession with a carnival block. The Mangueira Samba School, Orquestra Voadora, Bloco Céu na Terra will participate. The parade will leave from Arcos da Lapa and continue to Cinelândia. “It will be the most beautiful part of the Biennial. That’s when the students put the block on the street and occupy the city that hosts the event”, commented Paola.
