Miriam Makeba: the postmemory of the fight for Freedom in the work of Ângela Ferreira

Collection curated by Helena Mendes Pereira

The work of Ângela Ferreira is a kind of mending of history, a eulogy to the heroes of African resistance to colonialism, oppression and segregation. She soon realised that the end of colonialism did not eliminate the inequalities created during centuries of exploitation. Through processes of historical research, she began to develop projects and bodies of work that reflect on the consequences of colonialism and post-colonialism in contemporary society.
