Afterlives of History
Portugal is home to one the largest Afro-diasporic communities in Europe, related to Lusophone countries such as Cabo Verde, Angola, São Tomé and Príncipe, Guinea-Bissau, and Mozambique. As the original western colonial empire, Portugal set a blueprint for today’s global inequalities.
It is this and the persistent crisis the country faces that condition the international visibility of Portugal’s Afro-diasporic community. This series, “Afterlives of History,” spotlights its artists in all their variety and complexity.
