BIOGRAFIA

Naftal Langa nasceu no distrito de Mandlakaze, na província de Gaza, em 1932, onde frequentou a escola. Aos 17 anos de idade, ele veio para Lourenço Marques, actual cidade de Maputo, onde começou a esculpir sob influência do mestre Alberto Chissano. Em 1968, realizou a sua primeira exposição individual, no bairro do Aeroporto, na Galeria do seu mestre.

Aliás, é naquele bairro onde se encontravam vários artistas moçambicanos renomados.

Naftal Langa foi um dos escultores moçambicanos que se notabilizaram nas galerias no estrangeiro em diversas exposições, entre 1988 e 2004, em países tais como Portugal, Grã-Bretanha, União da República Socialista Soviética (URSS), Bulgária, República Democrática Alemã (RDA), Itália, Nigéria, Angola e Zimbabwe.

As suas obras são bastante conhecidas por “expor” e “denunciar” o sofrimento dos moçambicanos durante o período colonial, para além de incorporar elementos e traços identitários da cultura africana com temáticas de amor materno, da beleza de África, do sonho da liberdade e da prosperidade de Moçambique.

Fun Western Cape Fact: There isn’t just wine grapes being produced from the soil in the Stellenbosch area; there are plenty of farmers that produce organic, free-range foods here. Sold at several markets that go off at various times from Friday through Sunday, you’ll be able to sample food the way it was meant to be – grown and prepared by humans that care about a quality product over quantity.
