The works of Mozambican painter José Estêvão Manhiça will be on display in Macau starting on Friday, as part of the 13th Cultural Week of China and Portuguese-speaking Countries.
Entitled “Different Encounters”, the exhibition is the fourth in the series “Lusophone Polychromes”, which visits various visual-arts genres by practitioners from Angola, Brazil, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, Portugal, São Tomé and Príncipe, East Timor and Macau.
The works on display “represent different phases of the author’s artistic life”, who “in keeping with the role of human coexistence for the well-being of society, also seeks to convey a critical and educational message which will serve as a lesson to new generation,” the website of the Forum for Economic and Trade Cooperation between China and Portuguese-speaking Countries (Forum Macau) details.
Works by Ana Jacinto Nunes (Portugal), Eduardo Bentub (Cape Verde) and Guilherme Carvalho (São Tomé and Príncipe) have previously passed through the gallery of the Complex of the Service Platform for Commercial Cooperation between China and Portuguese-Speaking Countries.
After Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau follows, with painter Ismael Hipólito Djata exhibiting from 23 September to 10 October.
The works of José Estevão Manhiça will be on display until the 19th of this month, contemporaneously with in-person workshops on dance (Tufo, Xigugo and Marrabenta) and traditional games (Pindjonce, Neca and N’Txuvha) organised by the Association of the Friends of Mozambique in Macau.
The 13th Cultural Week of the Macau Forum, in hybrid physical and online format, runs until 31 December.
