The story
Festival de Artesanato FEIMA in Maputo
Festival de Artesanato FEIMA takes its name from FEIMA, Maputo's long-running crafts, flowers, and gastronomy market, where artisan vendors sell wood carving, malachite and soapstone work, batik textiles, basketry, and capulana cloth alongside food stalls. Whether this listing refers to the permanent FEIMA venue itself or a specific festival-style event staged there could not be fully confirmed.
In Maputo, FEIMA grew out of an effort by municipal authorities to give the city's community of craft vendors, many of whom had long sold wood carvings, textiles, and jewelry informally on city streets and along tourist routes, a fixed, organized venue of their own.
