OUR HISTORY

Since 2011, Humanize's primary purpose has been to engage in the cultural sector and seek positive social impact. Culture is who we are, as well as what shapes our identities and the societies we're a part of. We consider culture to be a fundamental right of all human beings, which is why we believe in using it as our tool. Throughout our history we've developed projects and partnerships in the most diverse artistic languages aligned with the UN's Sustainable Development Objectives. We've contributed towards the goals of such an important list, helping to accomplish these objectives on behalf of all peoples and the planet, and providing the realization of artistic ideas and ideals.
