CECan Mexico

The Art and Transdisciplinary Academic Body of the Faculty of Plastic Arts of the Universidad Veracruzana, organized in 2016 an exhibition entitled EMPATIaRTE, inclusive culture-dialogue with cancer with the presentation of student work explicitly designed to support the State Cancer Center (CECan). Through work in the classroom and hospital scenarios, it was possible to make a series of proposals that brought students closer to some of the experiences, emotions and perceptions of the people of the State Cancer Center. Through this exhibition, the group of professors from Art and Transdisciplinary Academic Body and the CECan authorities share this experience and its results with the general public. This dialogue with the community aims to raise awareness about some of the types of cancer in the hope of generating empathy and solidarity with those who suffer from it, as well as with the hospital staff, emphasizing their dedication and willingness to serve.
