Fabrica de Cultura Barda Norte

Abstract

Founded at the end of the 19th century, General Roca owes its name to former Argentine president Julio Argentino Roca. Its growth was closely linked to the development of agriculture, thanks to the implementation of irrigation systems that transformed the area into a fertile region producing fruits and vegetables. Today General Roca is a dynamic and cosmopolitan city that combines tradition with modernity. It combines deep-rooted traditions with influences from various parts of the world. Its rich history, marked by immigration and agricultural development, is reflected in a varied cultural heritage. The city has an active arts scene, with spaces dedicated to music, theater, dance and visual arts. In addition, it celebrates various festivities throughout the year, which merge local traditions with celebrations of Latin American origin. Gastronomy is also a reflection of this diversity. In short, General Roca is a city with its own cultural identity, constantly evolving and open to new artistic expressions. The Culture Factory aims to revitalize areas of the city that have lost prominence, turning them into epicenters of cultural activity. Through a varied and quality programming, it seeks to promote General Roca as a regional cultural destination, strengthening the sense of belonging of its inhabitants and promoting educational and social development.
