The workshop "Qualé, mané?", proposed by Érica Zíngano and Barbara Marcel, is based on the encounter between different artistic languages, in the use of words and images, to think about issues that often remain veiled in everyday language, especially oral, in an almost "unconscious" way. The artists' proposal with this workshop is to create a collective space for speaking and listening, sharing experiences of the Portuguese language in Brazil and Angola, in order to reflect together with the participants on possible links of the colonial experience and its reminiscences. Based on the discussion of excerpts from the work of poet Patrícia Lino and filmmaker Miguel Gomes, both contemporary Portuguese artists who are thinking about this experience from the colonizer's point of view, we intend to create texts/images that make us think about places of force, counter-narratives to be imagined, in an open conversation about the present time, full of pasts and futures.
