"After almost thirty years of war, the Angolan cultural infrastructure was completely destroyed. Since the arrival of peace in 2002 the arts sector has concentrated on recovery.
Every year, on 8 January, the National Day of Culture is held as a tribute to poet Agostinho Neto, Angola’s first president. On that day in 1979, he delivered a speech on national unity - he saw culture as the main connecting medium. But as a result of the war, the arts were not a priority any longer and the national museums, archives and cultural infrastructure declined. Recovery is now the main concern."
