Accord International has been supporting artists living in Vienna in recent months:inside several projects in different cities in Mexico: The Mexican singer Patricia Trujano Granados and initiator of the projects, the Colombian composer and musician Juan Carlos Paniagua, the Bulgarian trumpeter Alexander Wladigeroff and his brother, the clarinetist and pianist Konstantin Wladigeroff.
The recital “America” was performed in the Jardines de México in the state of Morelos as part of an international Latin American forum for technical and economic cooperation. The program contained a wide variety of compositions, which spanned the entire continent of America and invoked supranational cohesion, which is not only ecologically important, but also represents a fundamental socio-political factor for a more livable future.
Thanks to the kind invitation and organization by Teodora Micheva-Hristova, the Wladigeroff brothers also performed in the Bulgarian Embassy in Mexico City with Patricia Trujano Granados and the percussionist Boyanna Trayanova. The audience consisted of members of various diplomatic missions.
At the end of December, in the state of Oaxaca, in the city of Huajuapan de Leon, one of the Asociación Civil Amigos del Arte was able to celebrate, Canto y Poesía initiated benefit concert to benefit the construction of a cultural center for the city. This cultural center should be a meeting place for all generations, But there should also be space in particular for the often marginalized group of older cultural workers. Together with Patricia Trujano, The Sandavi Ensamble under the direction of Gersón Galicia Zárate and the Grupo Bohemio created hours full of classical to traditional music in front of around a thousand spectators in the sold-out Auditorio Esc. Sec.Lic.Benito Juárez.
Am 20. In December, Patricia Trujano Granados was invited to a plenary session by the City Council of Heroica Ciudad de Huajuapan de León, at which her national and international artistic career was honored.
During the stay in Mexico, Alexander Uhl also helped, Monica Arias and Accord International released a music video for the song “Huajuapan” produced, a composition by José B. Trujano Morales , die der vielschichtigen Tradition seiner Heimatstadt gewidmet ist.
Alexander Uhl emphasizes the relevance of involvement in these cultural initiatives with the importance of dealing with the terms identity and that the open society, a topic area, in which Accord International has planned further projects.
This should be demonstrated in all of these projects, that knowledge of one's own tradition and a feeling of home cannot represent a contradiction but perhaps even a prerequisite for a functioning intercultural dialogue and supranational cooperation. This applies here, folkloric kitsch tied to nationalistic pride from an identity-forming self- and the sense of unity. The knowledge of one's own identity, be it the social one, cultural or sexual identity, should serve as the nucleus of interpersonal communication, which frees us from both left-wing misunderstandings and right-wing appropriation, prevents nationalistic or fanatical thinking and brings people into a free dialogue with others. This means that home is not seen as a possession, as something, that needs to be preserved, but as a utopian quality, a state of genuine human security, as a promise. The self emerges in social exchange. Without communication there is no identity; without identity there can be no real communication.
The more diverse group identifications an individual has, the less likely radicalization is, the clearer the path for an open society.
Accord International would like to examine these identity-forming factors and not see them as a demarcation from the others, but as an invitation to participation and interpersonal interaction.
