El Mejunje (Spanish for The Mixture), also known as El Mejunje de Silverio after the surname of its founder and director, Ramón Silverio,[1][2] is a Cuban LGBT cultural center and space[3] located in the city of Santa Clara.
It lies on the central Calle Marta Abreu, near the corner with Calle Juan Bruno Zayas, close to the Parque Vidal and La Caridad Theatre, next to the Saint Claire of Assisi Cathedral.
Created as a simple gathering of bohemians and intellectuals, the centre grew as multifaceted and unconventional cultural space.
[citation needed] People related to the centre are colloquially known as Mejunjeros.
[6] As for the meaning of its name and the purposes of its founder, El Mejunje is not a simple gay club: it is conceived as an open space shared by everyone independently of sexual orientation, to promote social integration.
