What
is “Oro Negro”
"Oro
Negro” is the first Afrodescendants Foundation in Chile.
Its first public performance took place december 5, in 2000,
in the context of the X. Besides this, it formally constituted
itself in the month of april, in 2001. Its operational center
is located in the city of Arica, basically because this city,
specially the Azapa valley, concentrates the larger amount
of afrodescendant population of the country.
Objectives:
- Achieve
the political and social recognition of the afrodescendants
in Chile.
- Rescue
and diffusion of the cultural roots of the afrodescendants.
- Training
and facilitation of the direct participation of the afrodescendants
in areas such as: Health, Education, Citizen Participation,
Arts and Sports.
- Protection
of afrodescendants in matters such as: Health, Education,
Nutrition, Housing, Work and Discrimination.
In order
to achieve all these objectives, “Oro Negro” will
carry out cultural courses and workshops (music, dances, arts,
sports, etc...) and will count with a team of professionals
in charge, who will solve social problems of the afrodescendant
population.
