A look at afro-peruvian culture at the PETROPERU Cultural Center

On Thursday, September 20, at 7:30 p.m., the photographic exhibition Afroperú will be inaugurated, organized by PETROPERU and the Ministry of Culture, as part of the cultural policy of the Company to the construction of intercultural citizenship.

The exhibition includes a set of portraits taken by renowned photographer Kike Arnal in diverse afro-descendant communities in our country. The artist illustrates the daily life of his environment and allows the viewer to learn more about the trades and expectations of each of them. It also highlights the diversity that exists in Peru today.

In this way, PETROPERU reaffirms once again its support for culture as one of the most important factors for the country to achieve full development, with equal opportunities for all its citizens. This contribution contributes to generating new senses of community and democratization to the access of the existing cultural production.
