Visible Memory Foundation
We improve lives
Founded in 2010, Visible Memory Foundation works with our members and volunteers to help families in need and especially people who have been victims of extreme violence. In addressing this reality, we are guided by a vision of social justice. We believe in the protection and promotion of human rights, we believe in building a society where it is possible to provide opportunities for everyone and thus allow new generations to reach their full potential.

WHAT WE DO
A helping hand
The Visible Memory Foundation promotes changes in language, imagination and attitudes that have historically fostered all kinds of violent behaviors in human behavior. We believe that it is possible to develop a social intelligence, in which people have a renewed awareness of the impact of their actions, as well as new citizen habits for conflict management where peaceful conflict resolution, restoration and otherness converge. We strive to inspire people through educational programs and sharing economy services. We support social leaders and artists. We prioritize supporting artist-driven projects and organizations that include deep and meaningful engagement with communities. We are convinced that art and innovation are fundamental tools to achieve real and tangible changes that allow us to restore our reality.
Projects
We have made quality our habit. It’s not something that we just strive for – we live by this principle every day.
OTHERNESS EXPEDITION
"The victims of violence, those who did not have a second chance, demand more hours of forgiveness and less minutes of silence."
The "Otherness Expedition" proposes an itinerant artistic exhibition developed from a concept known as “immersive art” and subjective experience. This expedition revolves around the peaceful resolution of conflicts, the power of forgiveness, the promotion of nonviolence through a photographic exhibition, new technologies and a practical seminar.
The proposal intends to visit, in the beginning, the communities affected by acts of extreme violence (shootings) in the recent history of the United States. The route of the expedition in its pilot phase includes a city in each of the following states: Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Virginia, New York, Connecticut, Minnesota, Nebraska, Colorado, California, Arizona and Texas.
Virtual music school
We tune talents
Visible Memory Foundation has developed an innovative pedagogy of music courses. Our methodology allows students to progress effectively, enjoy the lessons, and advance at their own pace. We believe in virtuality but the relationship with a live teacher for all our classes is a priority. We offer complementary videos but our strength lies in the effort to build a direct parents-teacher-student relationship that supports a personalized training. In this way, a pedagogy of creative freedom is developed and with tangible results.
OUR STORY
WILD PHOTOS EXPEDITION
The intention of the project “AGUACERO. Portraits of the planet that they called blue ”, is to make a photo documentary that allows the community to become aware of the enormous fragility that characterizes the world's water wealth. To clarify the concept of photo documentary, the words of Francisco Birri can be taken up again: “It is simply going out with a camera and an audio recorder to meet the reality of the environment, to talk, to photograph faces, people, places, animals, plants but above all problems of the same habitat ”. With the result of this research we intend to offer viewers a visual and scientific sample of what we are obliged to deliver to future generations. Our goal is to create awareness, modify habits and teach those who still think that nature takes care of itself, that environmental ethics is more than a concept, it is a responsibility.
"Goodness is the language that the deaf can hear and the blind can see."

"We are delighted to recognize this remarkable group of legendary artists, who remain very active, with this year's Lifetime Achievement and Trustees Awards," said Gabriel Abaroa Jr., President/CEO of The Latin Recording Academy. "Their outstanding accomplishments have created a timeless legacy within the Latin music world and beyond, and we look forward to honoring and celebrating each of them during Latin GRAMMY Week as we return to Las Vegas this November with our resilient community of Latin music lovers."
The Lifetime Achievement Award is presented to performers who have made creative contributions of outstanding artistic significance to Latin music and its communities. The Trustees Award is bestowed on individuals who have made significant contributions to Latin music during their careers in ways other than performance. Both distinctions are voted on by The Latin Recording Academy's Board of Trustees.
Congratulations to our founder Egidio Cuadrado for his
2021 Grammy Award!
A well deserved "The Trustees Award"
for his career from the Academy.
