“Directly from the presidency 🇵🇹🫰🏽🇲🇿”, wrote Mozambican designer Fredy Uamusse this morning, sharing with his followers an image of an official email issued by the Office of the President of the Portuguese Republic. The message, written in a formal tone, expresses institutional recognition of his participation in an event of high cultural relevance.
Fredy recently returned to Mozambique after representing the country at the 9th International Meeting on Art Education, held in Portugal between June 19th and 23rd. The event brought together educators, artists, and representatives of cultural institutions from various nationalities, in a space for dialogue on innovative practices in artistic training and the role of art in building more humane societies.

Receiving an official communication from the Presidency of the Portuguese Republic represents more than a mere protocol gesture. It is a sign of appreciation for the contribution that artists like Fredy offer to cultural diplomacy and education through art. By carrying the Mozambican flag to an international meeting of this magnitude, Fredy not only shared creative experiences but also opened doors for future institutional collaborations between Mozambique and Portugal.
This institutional recognition reiterates the importance of investing in talents that promote the country through art and education. Returning with a strengthened set of contacts, ideas, and incentives, Fredy Uamusse reinforces his mission to transform the national artistic landscape, inspiring a new generation of Mozambican creators and educators.
Sharing this moment publicly is not just a personal celebration, but also an invitation to reflect on how official support and international presence can generate lasting impacts on the development of creative and educational industries in Mozambique.
