Subtitle

La scène culturelle de Macao repose sur un écosystème relativement concentré, structuré autour d'une forte implication des pouvoirs publics et d'un nombre limité d'acteurs institutionnels et privés. Aux côtés du Bureau des affaires culturelles (ICM), des universités et des associations d'artistes locales, les six concessionnaires de jeux jouent un rôle majeur dans le financement et la production d'événements culturels, principalement à travers des expositions, festivals, programmes éducatifs et collaborations avec des institutions internationales. Cette articulation entre acteurs publics, opérateurs privés et organisations culturelles contribue à façonner un modèle original, dans lequel la culture est étroitement intégrée aux stratégies de développement touristique et économique du territoire. Longtemps dominée par l’industrie du jeu, la scène culturelle de Macao connaît aujourd’hui une profonde transformation, portée par une stratégie volontariste des autorités visant à faire du territoire un pôle régional du tourisme culturel et des industries créatives. Dans ce cadre, le gouvernement de la RAS de Macao entend faire du territoire une plateforme internationale d’échanges entre les cultures chinoise et occidentale et passer d’une logique de projets ponctuels à un écosystème culturel pérenne fondé sur des infrastructures et des chaînes de valeur structurées. Cette ambition se traduit notamment par la création de trois grands équipements culturels – le Macao National Museum of Culture, le Macao International Performing Arts Centre et l’International Contemporary Art Museum – ainsi que par le développement des industries culturelles et créatives dans le cadre de la stratégie de diversification économique « 1+4 ». Les autorités recherchent activement des partenaires internationaux et considèrent la culture, les arts, le patrimoine et les événements comme des leviers essentiels du développement économique, du tourisme et de l’attractivité du territoire.
