Upon entering art, Dina created a piece in which she describes one of the phases of breast cancer, which was exhibited at the event promoted by Imacum.
The budding artist said that one of her main motivations is to promote prevention, so that more people do not die because they did not identify a breast tumor in time.

Alfredo Wong López, head of Imacum, explained that this paramunicipal seeks to promote the culture of prevention in different areas, including health.
The event was enlivened with music by the local artist Germán Palazuelos, as well as a presentation by the dancer Elizabeth Ortega, who is a member of the representative group Dunas de dance contemporánea instructed by Aida Corral.
