LeiturArte Itapagipe is a project realized by the ICBIE, financed by the Gregorio de Mattos Foundation — an organization of the City of Salvador, as part of the Secretary of Development, Tourism and Culture (SEDES), with an initiative called Arte em Toda Parte – which focuses on the objective of promoting and incentivizing the access to culture for the inhabitants of the Itapigipe Peninsula.
As an integral part of the Institute, the ICBIE’s Leonardo da Vinci International Library already carries out an important mission, incentivizing reading, debates, and in-depth cultural research, providing the local community with books, CDs, LPs and DVDs, but also a place that stimulates interactive and participative cultural processes in the community.
With this project, from January to May, the ICBIE will offer a continuous program, full of events that will embrace the arts, reading, poetry, music, theater and dance. Among the many activities that will be realized: book presentations, a literary and poetry competition, debates, readings of sonnets and poems, and guided visits to the library.
The scene of the events will not only be the ICBIE facilities, but also the streets and the squares of the Itapagipe Peninsula, to acquire a greater involvement of the public.
The project’s opening event on the 24th of January will be the literary soiree, with the participation of various local artists, aiming to acquaint the public with national and international literature.
