S05 On decoloniality. Curated by Leaticia Ouedraogo EP02 Think global act decolonial Italy meets Portugal. Guest: Onésio Intumbo Ferreira

Blackcoffee podcast is back with a new series of Blackcoffee meets Europe, the winning project of the Culture of Solidarity Fund of the European Cultural Foundation. 

On this second episode of the decolonial series, we move to Portugal, one of the most important European ex-colonial powers, to gain knowledge on the meanings given to decoloniality in the land of Pessoa.

In the interview to Onésio Intumbo Ferreira, a Portuguese photographer and sociologist born and partly raised in Guinea Bissau, we will be talking about art and photography as a decolonial methodology.

Radical decolonization implies the rehabilitation of ancient forms and the promotion of new forms of knowledge and the emergence of non-western solidarities among the subalterns. Memorial redress and indigenous epistemological representations are invoked to fight binary oppositions and hierarchies between the whites and the non-whites, the center and the periphery, those deemed superiors or inferiors.
