Theme: Culturas

Com o tema "Culturas" queremos provocar, em nossa comunidade, a reflexão sobre as expressões das identidades culturais, seus valores, crenças e produções, tangíveis e simbólicas. A cultura, entendida como aquilo que singulariza pessoas e grupos, uns em relação aos outros, remete à constatação da coexistência de diversas culturas em um mesmo espaço, seja ele uma comunidade ou um país. É na diversidade cultural que ressignificamos quem fomos, quem somos e quem queremos ser. E este é o grande objetivo desta 9ª edição: expor a diversidade cultural presente em nosso cotidiano.
