Y. .. PHAROS why?

Why headlights look, guide, illuminate and endure. The headlights are also life.

observe, learn and analyze.

Counsel: assist in all cultural and social struggles.

Illuminate: why cast light unveil roads and, sometimes, the light is also fighting and is also life.

resist, both the waves and storms and therefore are a symbol of resistance.

And we PHAROS Cultural Association, unpretentious and with different sensibilities but with a common goal, we are born with the desire to contribute, collaborate and help from rationality, criticism and analysis, and using the different cultural expressions, to transform, through culture, this society unjust, unequal, conformity and resignation.

The struggle and resistance are, therefore, symbols of our Cultural Association.

Finally, we would part with the following poem :

Questions from a worker to a book, Bertolt BRECHT

Thebes of the Seven Gates, who built it?

The books containing the names of kings. dragged kings "large blocks of stone?

And Babylon, destroyed many times, who build it again so many times? What houses of the golden Lima workers lived who built it?

The night was finished the Great Wall of China, Where did the masons go?

Grande Rome is full of triumphal arches. Who erected them? "About who won the Caesars?

Byzantium, as sung did he just palaces for its inhabitants?

Even in fabled Atlantis, night when the sea swallow, the people cried for help their slaves.

The young Alexander conquered India. alone?

Caesar beat the Gauls. carried with it not even a cook?

Philip wept to sink fleet. Do not cry no more?

Federico II won the Seven Years' War. Who won anyway?

A win on each page. Who cooked the banquet of victory?

A great man once every ten years. Who pays their expenses?

questions for each story.
