The National Archives Institute of Cabo Verde (IANCV) and partners presented, this Wednesday, to the Praia public the book “A Cultura das Ilhas nos Selos Postais de Cabo Verde” (The Culture of the Islands in the Postage Stamps of Cabo Verde) by Ana Mafalda Moreira.
The 185-page book, as well as the exhibition with the same title, provides the public with a trip to Cabo Verdean culture shown in stamps in the most diverse areas of culture, cuisine, music and traditional festivals.
Speaking to the press, on the sidelines of the launch of the book, the IANCV conservative José Maria Borges said it was the fulfillment of the institution’s mission, which aims to “promote the safeguarding and valorization of heritage”, as well as promoting the dissemination of existing heritage.
“This promotion is done through exhibitions, publications of books and manuals, and a set of tools we use to disseminate and promote the cultural flow of heritage which exists under our supervision in the National Archives,” he said.
