O projeto arquitetônico do museu será definido por meio de um concurso público internacional, voltado exclusivamente a arquitetos africanos, reforçando o protagonismo do continente na concepção do espaço. “A África tem grande importância para a construção da nossa brasilidade. Queremos que um arquiteto africano pense e desenhe esse projeto em Maricá”, afirmou Quaquá.

O anúncio foi feito durante reunião com embaixadores e representantes dos países da Comunidade dos Países de Língua Portuguesa (CPLP). No encontro, o município também apresentou o I Festival Internacional de Língua Portuguesa – ‘Língua ao Mar: a arte que fala Português’, previsto para novembro deste ano em Maricá.

Segundo Antônio Grassi, presidente da Companhia de Desenvolvimento de Maricá (Codemar), o festival visa consolidar a cidade como um polo de cultura, arte e economia criativa no universo da lusofonia. “Esse é o primeiro passo para tornar Maricá a capital da Língua Portuguesa no campo da cultura”, destacou.

Representantes diplomáticos presentes ressaltaram o papel da cultura como elo entre os países lusófonos. O embaixador do Brasil na CPLP, Juliano Féres Nascimento, afirmou que a língua portuguesa é o traço comum que fortalece laços entre nações. A embaixadora de Moçambique em Portugal, Stella Zeca, acrescentou que o “soft power” da cultura é uma ferramenta poderosa de conexão entre os povos.

Também participaram do encontro a secretária de Comunicação Social de Maricá, Danielle Oliveira, o secretário de Turismo, Comércio, Indústria e Mercado Interno, José Alexandre Almeida, e representantes do arquipélago de Cabo Verde.
