Historian Filipa Vicente's decade-long exploration of colonial archives reveals unsettling truths about unconsented, dehumanizing photography, spurring her to create a counter-narrative.
The collaborative exhibition features personal stories through images chosen by families, highlighting the transformation of Black people from mere objects into subjects of their narratives.
This initiative not only showcases individual family histories but also places them within the broader context of Lisbon's African community, shaped by centuries of colonial history.
Inocencia Mata emphasizes the importance of recognizing that Black individuals are not just visual representations but integral subjects of their own histories and experiences.
