Location
Open-Air Amphitheatre Gulbenkian GardenWhat is the legacy, the reach and the meaning of African independences – at times gained after particularly violent and difficult struggles – for African descendants, the children of dismantled empires who live in Europe and in Africa and maintain a relationship with both continents? Even when it arises discreetly, the turmoil caused by the wars for African independence has nourished the work of artists born several decades later.
On June 25th, the director Silas Tiny will be present at the round table Cinema e pós-memórias with the filmmakers Ariel de Bigault and Amalia Escriva and the curator Olivier Hadouchi.
