IMCA awarded talent that recreates and preserves the history of Barquisimeto

The Municipal Institute of Culture and Art (IMCA) held the award ceremony for the “Urban View , Where Light Dwells” and “Urban Verses, Chronicles of My City”, at the Larense History Center, located in Barquisimeto.

The event was aimed at preserving and celebrating local identity and history through photography and narrative, and, on this occasion, a special tribute was paid to the distinguished chronicler, researcher and defender of Barquisimethane heritage, Ramón Querales, whose legacy remains fundamental to understanding the historical memory of the region.

The Minister of Popular Power for Culture, Alejandro López, who was part of the judging jury, said that evaluating the works constituted a beautiful opportunity to read about being guaro, “with a lot of passion, diversity and a deep love for this city, full of history, street, family, color and space.”
