Overview and Critique of Cultural Manifestations in Angola

Abstract

How can we understand the complexity of cultural projects that require the involvement of knowledge from a wide range of fields, coordinated through horizontal hierarchies, where each participant must understand the scope of their work and respect the human contexts and production methodologies specifically designed for the project?

Everything we achieve individually and as a team could result from the support we receive.

The production of a CULTURAL project involves contextualizing the project within the landscape, historical, cultural, and social framework—PLACE / TERRITORY—beyond just considering the target audience. It requires a deep understanding of ancestral cultural/tribal instances, migratory impacts, colonialism and civil wars, the public promotion of "NATIONAL IDENTITY," capitalism and new colonialism, relationships with production and communication technologies, and the composition of structures of INDIVIDUAL AND SOCIAL THOUGHT AND/OR EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE in the current temporal space as a result of previous power dynamics.

ANGOLA – CULTURE – SOCIETY: Survival is sometimes incompatible with the search for identity, and yet it is remarkable to observe the atmosphere in Luanda, where the cultural agenda is vibrant. The extended family structure has a significant impact on social relationships, as group support allows for the recovery of personal time (which, in other regions, has been lost to consumption and competition). This time can then be dedicated to issues beyond capital productivity and economic gain, which, in the end, often do not even benefit the individual.
