As Guyana closed the curtains on what was considered “a successful staging of the second annual Inter -Guiana festival yesterday, Lance Canterbury an organizer of the event stated that crowd participation was more than anticipated.
Canterbury noted that the public response to the activities of the closing ceremony was indeed “satisfactory despite (low turnout at) the other events.”
Earlier in the day, a book caravan was on display while culinary arts from French Guiana, Guyana and Suriname were also exhibited. Later in the afternoon a cultural show was held to showcase a combination of the drumming and other cultural pieces of performances from all three countries. Attendees were intrigued by the craft, paintings, drawings, fashion, music and dance from these diverse countries.
This year’s festival was hosted under, the theme “Celebrating our culture bridging our friendship.”
The initiative was brought about to identify a common history in relation to fostering unity among the three countries through interactive sessions and workshops. The festival which was initiated a year ago in Suriname aimed to showcase the dynamic and intricate cultures of French Guiana, Suriname and Guyana.
Suriname was represented by a 50-member delegation while French Guiana had more than 40 participants. The next annual Inter- Guiana festival will be held in French Guiana.
BE THANKFUL AND GRATEFUL TO THE FOREIGN EXPLOITERS
