Lisbon street project reclaims Portugal's unseen black history
Plaques in city now mark the places where its African community has lived, worked and transformed the city.
Since the start of the year, the Batoto Yetu association, a Swahili name meaning “our children”, has been installing a series of 20 plaques across Lisbon that aim to reclaim the city’s African history.
Believed to be one of the first projects of its kind in Europe, the plaques offer a glimpse into the mark left by a community whose presence in the city stretches back centuries.
Exhibition “Family Albums: Photographs of the African Diaspora in Greater Lisbon (1975 to Today)” curated by Inocencia Mata and Filipa Lowndes Vicente, shows photographs of self-representation of the African Diaspora in Portugal. These are the “family albums” with the images that Portuguese of african descendent and Africans, who live in Portugal, have made of themselves and their families and communities since 1975, the date of independence of the African countries that had been colonised by Portugal, Padrao dos Descobrimentos, Lisbon, Portugal.
