Africa-Press – Angola. The construction of a multidisciplinary cultural center, in Lunda-Sul, was defended, this Wednesday, by artists residing in this province.
Speaking within the framework of National Culture Day, marked on January 8, the art makers argue that a multicultural center will allow the preservation and dissemination of Angolan culture.
They argue that the center should include, among others, theater, music, dance, weaving, painting rooms, among others.
For visual artist Alegria Pinto, the lack of a specific room has made it difficult for him to present his works publicly and sell them.
He mentioned that “the house of culture” will also serve to train artists, in ways to perfect their art.
Corroborating the idea, artist Bernardo Mussulumbi reinforced the need to have arts training rooms.
He made it known that in addition to the lack of space, artists have difficulty acquiring material to create their artwork.
In turn, the director of the Provincial Office of Culture, Tourism, Youth and Sports, Nelson Miuca, said that the Government has designed policies to support the artistic class.
He appealed to artists to continue producing their works and invest in academic and professional technical training.
National Culture Day was established with reference to the speech on National Culture, given in 1979, by the first President of Angola, António Agostinho Neto, during the inauguration of the managing body of the Union of Angolan Writers.
