This initiative, part of the Ready for Art programme, aims to promote Mozambican artistic talent and enhance cultural access throughout the country. The exhibitions will run until April 24.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"ap-article-header-tag\"> <strong>Africa-Press &#8211; Mozambique. <\/strong> <\/span>Absa Bank Mozambique is presenting a new cycle of Mozambican art exhibitions in the cities of Maputo, Beira, and Nampula, showcasing works by nine national artists in its Premier spaces.<\/p>\n<p>The exhibitions are part of the Ready for Art programme, an initiative by the bank that promotes and gives visibility to Mozambican artistic talent, while also contributing to cultural dynamism and access to art across different parts of the country.<\/p>\n<p>The current cycle features artists who participated in the latest edition of the programme. In <b>Maputo,<\/b> works by Dione\u0301sio Matabel, Alfredo Sambo, and Marcos Zandamela are on display. In<b> Beira,<\/b> visitors can see pieces by Celso Manhengue, Celso Ju\u0301nior, and David Alfredo. In Nampula, the public can view works by Nuno Ma\u0301rio, Genito Joaquim, and Rocha Abi\u0301lio.<\/p>\n<p>Each exhibition will be open to the public until 24 April in Absa\u2019s Premier spaces, which thus serve as points of connection between art and the community. The catalogue for this edition, available from the bank, brings together the works and career paths of the artists, offering a closer look at their work and the inspirations shaping this new phase of Mozambican contemporary art.<\/p>\n<p>Ta\u0302nia Oliveira, Marketing and Corporate Relations Director at Absa Bank Mozambique, says the initiative aims to go beyond artistic promotion:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMore than promoting art, we want to create space for stories to find a voice and for young talent to discover real pathways for growth. We believe each artist brings a unique narrative that deserves to be seen, valued, and shared.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Ready for Art programme forms part of Absa\u2019s social responsibility strategy, focusing on the training and development of young artists. In addition to showcasing the artworks, the initiative includes specialised mentoring, entrepreneurship training, and opportunities for entry into the art market.<\/p>\n<p>Through this initiative, Absa reinforces its role in valuing national culture, promoting access to art, and supporting the development of the cultural sector in Mozambique.<\/p>\n<p><b>About Absa Bank Mozambique<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Absa Bank Mozambique, S.A., is a solid financial institution committed to the country\u2019s economic and social development, with over 45 years of experience in the Mozambican banking sector.<\/p>\n<p>The bank is part of the Absa Group, an African financial services group with the ambition to be the pride of the continent.
