Reunião entre GeoPark Araripe e a Associação Fibrarte
On May 18, the Araripe GeoPark met with artisans of the Fribrada Association from Missão Velha town.
An accounting association with two stores in the Missão Velha town and approximately fifteen craftsmen working with the most diverse types of materials has as main the art produced from the banana leaf fiber. In addition to their own stores, a Fibrart still participates in major exhibitions in the region such as Exprof and Expocrato.
That first meeting indicates a closer approximation of the Araripe GeoPark with Fibrart and emphasizes the importance of formalizing more partnerships with the territory between an Institution and producers of geoproducts.
