The services, programmes and training put in place around Carnaval clearly demonstrate what we at IIPP understand as dynamic capabilities, and we are excited to collaborate with them on this.

Carnaval is a public platform for innovation–mission-led & community-driven. Morning meeting with Governo do Estado da Bahia and their teams from culture, health, security and waste. The shared purpose of Carnaval mobilises & stress-tests cross-government collaboration & public sector capabilities.

Great lunch with Brazil’s Minister of Management and Innovation of Public Services, Esther Dweck, and her team to discuss the next steps in our work together, with procurement as a central lever for social development and state transformation.

Looking forward to speaking on a panel today at Creative Brazil Forum 2026 in Salvador, showcasing the work we have done at UCL IIPP on the Public Value of Arts & Culture and why we need move beyond static, linear metrics for measuring the impact of arts & culture.

Globally cultural and creative industries generate 3.39% of GDP, and in Brazil they contributed 3.59% of GDP in 2023 alone. But the value of arts, culture, and Carnival goes way beyond direct economic value.

Bottom line: arts and culture aren’t a sector of the economy. They are key to the creative economy. As Celso Furtado said, cultural policies must unleash the creative forces of society.

Carnival is where identity, belonging, dignity, joy & collective futures are made visible. This week, we launch new research with Brazil's Ministry of Culture, treating Carnival not as temporary spectacle but as an enduring economy—studying what it reveals about public value & the creative economy.
