From South Florida, with Love! is GENVAS’ latest original Salon concert series and it was inspired by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This document was written in 1948, following the end of WWII, and its purpose is to reaffirm the inherent dignity of “All Human Beings.” The Declaration’s opening words are “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.” These inspiring words are a guiding principle for the whole statement. In the seven decades since it was written it has become clear that we have forgotten their importance. This series showcases global Artists who work across all genres. The Artist presented will also represent members of diverse racial, ethnic, and religious communities.
This series was produced by GENVAS specifically for the Pompano Beach Cultural Center, PBCC, who wished to reinforce the municipality’s commitment to the arts.
