The day 29 September 2020 enters the history of art and technology in Angola. On this date, a partnership was signed between Talatona Art gallery and the Tupuca app. With this, whoever wants to know and buy the content of the Angolan art gallery will be able to do everything by cell phone.
The service is unprecedented in Angola and aims to promote contemporary art, besides expanding it to the whole country, and even to other places, like Portugal and Brazil. The novelty was first disclosed on the Planet Line website, which also added that the public will be able to access the digital content of the gallery, place the order and set the delivery date.
According to the general director of Talatona Art, Lúcia Drügg, “It is extremely important to create mechanisms for access to culture, in this case for the artistic expression that is painting ”. And she completes: “We bet and encourage the digital aspect, because we know its relevance. Some time ago, we launched the country's first virtual exhibition, with a 360º tour of the entire gallery and its works. Now, we believe that the partnership with Tupuca, beyond its purpose, has the clear message of valuing art ”.
