Mueda 1979

Overview

Mueda 1979 examines a sequence from a Guerra film that addresses one of the main events linked to the history of decolonization, the Mueda massacre, from the record of its theatrical reenactment. Tracing these images, the portuguese artist finds certain significant details and gestures that show the memory of colonial repression still present in the bodies and expressions of the group of people who materialize this reenactment almost two decades later.
