The first Ajeum Carioca Festival of Sustainable and Ancestral Creative Economy takes place from 14 to 30 March in several locations in Rio de Janeiro. The word "Ajeum", of Yoruba origin, means food, and the event aims to promote the creative economy and ancestral gastronomy of African roots.
The festival aims to preserve food diversity and raise awareness of cultural practices originating from traditional communities. For this purpose, bars and restaurants located in areas of traditional communities of African origin and quilombolas were invited, offering dishes inspired by the cultural and environmental heritage of these peoples, using artisanal and familiar methods in the preparation of food.
During the event, visitors will be able to evaluate the participating dishes by assigning notes based on criteria such as appearance, balance of ingredients and flavor. Scores may range from 8.5 (regular) to 10 (excellent).
All establishments participating in the festival will receive the "Selo Ajeum Carioca", which should be displayed in a visible location, as a recognition of the importance of preserving African traditions and their influence in Rio de Janeiro.
