Culture is a luminous way of loving and creating,\" he expressed, reaffirming the conviction \u2014inspired by the thought of Pedro Henr\u00edquez Ure\u00f1a\u2014 that \"only in culture does man find his highest expression.\" With that vision, the Le\u00f3n Jimenes Foundation renews its mission to continue sowing, together with Dominican society, the roots of a more just, conscious, and supportive future.\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You can also read: <a href=\"https:\/\/deultimominuto.net\/nacionales\/fundacion-raices-de-esperanza\/\">Fundaci\u00f3n Ra\u00edces de Esperanza, junto a UNICARIBE<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\nThe celebration integrated music as a living expression of the cultural legacy promoted by the Foundation through the musical interpretations of Adalgisa Pantale\u00f3n, Nin\u00ed C\u00e1ffaro, Antonia Chabebe, Juan Polanco and Inart and, at the end of the Eucharist, the guests were delighted with the performance of the Atempo Choir which, in collaboration with the Sinfon\u00eda Foundation, performed under the direction of Nadia Nicola.\n\nFollowing this, a commemorative toast was offered at Quinta Dominica and the exhibition \"Out of Time\" from the Centro Le\u00f3n was presented, reaffirming the dialogue between contemporary art, memory, and social reflection. In addition, an audiovisual production was screened that collects the projects and initiatives promoted by the Le\u00f3n Jimenes Foundation throughout these three decades of work.\n\nBoth the liturgical celebration and the subsequent toast comprehensively reflected the axes that define the work of the Le\u00f3n Jimenes Foundation: culture, arts, literature, music, and environmental care, present through symbolic, curatorial, and sensory elements, as in the case of the sound messages of Emisora Ra\u00edces through allusions to the gastronomy present during the event. Dominican identity was also manifested in the tastings and in the details that evoked the traditions and values of the country.\n\nDuring its three decades of work, the Eduardo Le\u00f3n Jimenes Foundation, through its affiliated cultural institutions: the Centro Le\u00f3n and the Ra\u00edces Broadcasting Station, has developed initiatives that engage with diverse audiences, promoting spaces for reflection and creation that strengthen national identity.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Santo Domingo.- The Eduardo Le\u00f3n Jimenes Foundation commemorated its 30th anniversary this Tuesday with a Eucharist officiated by Father Jos\u00e9 Alberto Hidalgo in the Church and Convent of the Dominicans, in the Colonial City of Santo Domingo.
