WORLD RECORDS SHOPArt becomes a moment of union aimed at experimenting interdisciplinary ways of creative expression; thus, dance, music and art come together enhancing the acceptance of differences and diversities of human relationships.
“Pandemic has forced us to further reflect on the meaning of human relationships. Empathy is a key to understand and access the other’s world by reducing the physical distance that separates us.
Art is a powerful means for social awareness and to express a message of peace through positivity and hope for the future. “
