The exhibition “Imaginaries of Guinea-Bissau \u2013 the collection of \u00c1lvaro de Barros Geraldo (1955-1975)”<\/strong>, curated by In\u00eas Gomes<\/strong> (research associate at ICS-ULisboa and collaborator of GI Imp\u00e9rios) and Catarina Laranjeiro (IHC) opens next Thursday, May 8, at the National Museum of Natural History and Science, between 6 pm and 9 pm, and will be on display until August 31, 2025.<\/p>\n Daniel Barroca<\/strong>, researcher at GI Imp\u00e9rios and PhD student in anthropology at ICS-ULisboa, will give a guided and commented tour of the exhibition as part of its parallel program (see below).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n This exhibition is based on a collection from the Overseas Historical Archive of around 82,000 negatives (as well as a set of slides and contact prints) from Guinea-Bissau and Lisbon \u2014 a unique collection, never before studied, exhibited or properly catalogued. The images are by \u00c1lvaro de Barros Geraldo (1922-1993), a photographer with an enigmatic trajectory, whose fragmented biography demands a critical reading of his legacy.<\/p>\n Imaginaries of Guinea-Bissau, investigates the role of photography in constructing the argument of “peacekeeping” in a territory at war. Through photographs of ambushes, protocol ceremonies and military and social initiatives, we seek to critically analyze how this discourse legitimized and perpetuated post-colonial tensions throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. In the year that marks the 50th anniversary of the independence of the former Portuguese colonies, this exhibition questions the legacies of this narrative and its implications for the present and future.<\/p>\n The exhibition is produced within the scope of the \u201cArt for Democracy\u201d Program, an initiative of the 50th Anniversary of April 25th Commemorative Commission in partnership with the Directorate-General for the Arts.<\/p>\n Parallel programme<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n . 23.05., 18h30, Cinemateca Portuguesa \u2013 Museu do Cinema . 01.06., 11h00, visita comentada \u00e0 exposi\u00e7\u00e3o por Daniel Barroca e Jo\u00e3o Egreja<\/p>\n . 29.06., 11h00, visita comentada \u00e0 exposi\u00e7\u00e3o por Catarina Mateus e In\u00eas Vieira Gomes<\/p>\n . 13.07., 11h00, visita comentada \u00e0 exposi\u00e7\u00e3o por Ariana Furtado e Catarina Laranjeiro<\/p>\n . 27.07., 11h00, visita comentada \u00e0 exposi\u00e7\u00e3o por Aurora Almada e Santos e Paulo Catrica<\/p>\n . 31.08., 11h00, visita comentada \u00e0 exposi\u00e7\u00e3o e debate com Amadu Daf\u00e9 e On\u00e9sio Soda<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" “Imaginaries of Guinea-Bissau \u2013 the estate of \u00c1lvaro de Barros Geraldo”, curated by In\u00eas Gomes (associate researcher ICS) and with the participation of Daniel Barroca (GI Imp\u00e9rios), opens on 8 May 2025, at the National Museum of Natural History and Science, and will be on display until 31 August.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10931,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_cbd_carousel_blocks":"[]","_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[140,42,294],"tags":[92,108,285],"class_list":["post-10933","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exposicao","category-divulgacao","category-streaming","tag-museum","tag-fotografia","tag-visual-culture"],"translation":{"provider":"WPGlobus","version":"3.0.0","language":"en","enabled_languages":["en","pt"],"languages":{"en":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":true},"pt":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":true}}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gi-imperios.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10933","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gi-imperios.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gi-imperios.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gi-imperios.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gi-imperios.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10933"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/gi-imperios.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10933\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11236,"href":"https:\/\/gi-imperios.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10933\/revisions\/11236"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gi-imperios.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10931"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gi-imperios.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10933"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gi-imperios.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10933"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gi-imperios.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10933"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\nSummary<\/u><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
