S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 The store in the Brazil Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai<\/strong> highlights female talents in literature. Since December, books written by Brazilian women, mainly expatriates living in the United Arab Emirates, can be purchased in the commercial space of the pavilion. On February 26 and 27, Saturday and Sunday, the authors will hold an autograph session for the public of the world expo.<\/p>\n

The company managing the store, On Duty Events, decided to take advantage of the presence of Brazilian women in the country of Expo 2020 Dubai to promote literature. Books<\/strong> by expatriates are sold at the store, such as children\u2019s works \u2018The Garden of the Moon\u2019 [\u2018O Jardim da Lua\u2019], by Wiana Kell; \u2018Cissa and diversity\u2019 [\u2018Cissa e a Diversidade\u2019], by Veronika Eleut\u00e9rio; \u2018My name is Ali. What is your name?,\u2019 by Ladimari Hoeppler; and \u2018Dora \u2013 the coolest dog in the world\u2019 [\u2018Dora \u2013 A cachorra mais legal do planeta\u2019] by Sueli Bianchi.<\/p>\n

Visitors can also find the fiction novel \u2018Maid in Dubai,\u2019 by Zana Bonafe; the study guide \u2018Portuguese Express\u2019 [\u2018Expresso Portugu\u00eas\u2019], by Anapaula Villa Boas Neves; the adventure book \u2018Climbing Giants\u2019 [\u2018Escalando Gigantes\u2019], by Fernanda Degow; and the self-help book Be Inspired, by \u00c9rika Cristina. There are books in Portuguese and English. Except for Neves, the other authors will participate in the autograph session at the Expo, divided into two groups, one on Saturday and another on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The Brazilian women are part of the UAEscreve writers club<\/strong>, which meets monthly to exchange experiences and discuss editorial and literary matters. One of the group members, Wiana Kell<\/a>, came up with the idea to sell the books on her first visit to the Brazil pavilion at the Expo when she saw the Brazilian products store and made the proposal to On Duty.<\/p>\n

Wiana is a partner in the UAE of A Taba<\/a>, a Brazilian children\u2019s book subscription club. Some books by other Brazilian authors distributed by the publishing house are also available at the store in the Brazil pavilion, like \u2018History of Brazilian Animals\u2019 [\u2018Hist\u00f3ria de Bichos Brasileiros\u2019], by Vera do Val; and \u2018Carnival Classes and Other Poems\u2019 [\u2018Aulas de Carnaval e Outros Poemas\u2019], by Ricardo Azevedo.<\/p>\n

On Duty\u2019s project manager, Gabriela Daher<\/a>, says the idea of having the books in the store is to show Brazilian intellectual and literary production as part of the values presented by Brazil at Expo 2020 Dubai. \u201cBooks are a part of that,\u201d Daher told ANBA over a phone call. She says the works have been generating interest in a very mixed audience, but natives and residents are the ones who buy the most.<\/p>\n

The Brazilian female authors\u2019 autograph session will be next to Parque das \u00c1guas [the Water Park], a reflecting pool that is the central attraction of the Brazil pavilion. Each author will have a table to autograph books and chat with interested readers. Daher says this will also be an opportunity for visitors to taste Brazilian coffee, coxinha, a\u00e7a\u00ed, or p\u00e3o de queijo, specialties sold at the cafeteria.<\/p>\n

The store<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Duty is responsible for the commercial operations of the pavilion, and Daher says the store was designed based on the values of the Brazilian space, which has sustainability as its central theme, divided into three mottos: together for nature, together for tomorrow, and together for people. The souvenirs<\/strong> offered at the point of sale are stamped with images designed by a Brazilian artist, which illustrate these subjects and refer to the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a whole story behind it; whoever buys a product is acquiring knowledge about the country and what we have, what we have built,\u201d explains Daher. Another strategy of the store is to prove this theory through the products. This is how items such as Brazilian-branded vegan shoes and products made in the Pipa social project, collective creation hub by people living in low-income communities in Rio de Janeiro, earned a spot at the space.<\/p>\n
