Guasave, Sinaloa.- Organizers of the Navachiste International Arts Festival in Guasave, they propose this year to transform the festival into a culture campsite where each individual arrives under their own means and risk, and to be able to carry it out despite the Covid-19 pandemic.
Antonio Coronado, president of the Navachiste Cultural Foundation, stated that they do not see the conditions to carry it out as it has been done for 27 years.
In 2019 it was the last year to be carried out in person, but if a series of changes are applied, it could be carried out this year, at Easter, defining which days, taking into account April 10 to 16.

Dynamic
He stated that they would like to hold the poetry festival, which for two consecutive years has been interrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic, and if the infections continue, they see it difficult to carry it out as organizers, due to the circumstances surrounding the holding of the festival. , and the singularity that makes them more vulnerable due to the fact that for a whole week people from all over the country and from other parts of the world are even living together in the same place for consecutive days, to which I add the conditions that have to do with health, are not the most optimal when camping.
“Where everyone arrives at their own risk and with their means and we have a meeting in the bay, everyone as best they could because it is difficult.”
To be specified
Members of the patronage have suggested doing it virtually, adapting to the new reality, but Coronado considers that the Navachiste Festival has a singularity and this is to carry out interdisciplinary activities surrounded by nature.
“A Navachiste festival without that landscape, the magic that surrounds it, would be nothing and nothing like it,” he commented.
It will be in the next few days when they make the proposal through the formal route, assuming that each participant must bring their food, drinks, whether it be a musical instrument if they like it, poems, tools, painting, depending on the artist or individual.
Among the present efforts would be the support for the hiring of a palapa, so that if it were carried out, they would have a space to be in the shade and where the support of the attendees’ labor would be required, because they do not see possibilities of offering them other conditions. as it is when they organized.
