Mozambican poet and curator Amosse Mucavele is one of the guests at the Brazilian Creative Industries Market (MICBR), an event taking place until Sunday in Fortaleza, bringing together hundreds of cultural professionals from various countries.
Invited in his capacity as executive director of the Mozambican Cultural and Creative Industries Market (MICMZ), Amosse Mucavele has been presenting the development vision of the Mozambican project, whose implementation is planned for 2026.
The initiative aims to strengthen the country's creative ecosystem, promote the circulation of cultural goods and services, and consolidate new market opportunities. According to the curator, MICBR represents "a unique opportunity" to expand networks and establish international partnerships.
"Mozambique has talent and creativity. What we need is to strengthen the mechanisms for the circulation and commercialization of our cultural production," he emphasizes.
He also highlights that MICMZ aims to internationalize Mozambican cultural production, encourage associativism, strengthen value chains, and create a stable platform for artists and entrepreneurs.
“Culture is also economy: it generates employment, innovation, and a future. Mozambique must be present in spaces where the paths of global creativity are discussed, and MICBR is one of those spaces,” he states.
Amosse Mucavele will also participate this Thursday in the panel “Creative Territories that Read: Sustainability and Networks of Literary Events.” The debate will feature the Mexican curator Chantal Garduño, the Brazilian editor Talles Azigon, and Fabiano Piúba (SEFLI/MinC), moderated by Jefferson Assunção, director of books, reading, literature, and libraries in Brazil.
The MICBR program is distributed across various cultural spaces in Fortaleza, with business rounds, lectures, workshops, showcases, and creative fairs. More than 150 foreign delegates and 350 Brazilian entrepreneurs are participating, selected from over 1,540 applications and distributed across 15 sectors of the creative economy, such as visual arts, audiovisual, dance, fashion, gastronomy, music, theater, and design.
