With speakers from different generations, geographical contexts and professional backgrounds, the series will provide an opportunity for sharing knowledge and experiences on colonial, anti- and post-colonial histories and diasporic identities, and for looking into transnational and trans-disciplinary strategies of decolonization through artistic, curatorial, activist and academic practices. It departs from the premise that cultural production has a fundamental role to play in political, social and economic arenas.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Organized by Ana Balona de Oliveira in the framework of the research line Transnational Perspectives on Contemporary Art: Identities and Representation (CASt-IHA-FCSH-NOVA) and the project Visual Culture, Migration, Globalization and Decolonization (CITCOM-CEC-FLUL).<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;10311&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Ana Balona de Oliveira, Luanda, 2017<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator color=&#8221;black&#8221;][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Ana Balona de Oliveira<\/strong> is a FCT Postdoctoral Fellow at the Institute for Art History of the New University of Lisbon (IHA-FCSH-NOVA) and at the Centre for Comparative Studies of the University of Lisbon (CEC-FLUL).
