Title: | A tristeza da Terra e a voz das imagens | Other Titles: | The sadness of the Earth and the voice of images | Authors: | Cammaert, Felipe | Issue Date: | 2-May-2020 | Publisher: | Memoirs, CES | Project: | info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/648624/EU | Serial title, monograph or event: | Memoirs Newsletter | Issue: | 99 | Place of publication or event: | Coimbra | Abstract: | Nas obras artísticas da pós-memória, são comuns os casos em que o artista revisita o passado colonial fazendo apelo a uma reinterpretação dos arquivos históricos marcantes, muitos deles silenciados ou esquecidos pelas gerações seguintes. Um dos eventos que tem dado lugar a uma série de fecundas representações artísticas é o das mãos cortadas, um dos episódios mais medonhos do período colonial da Bélgica no Congo, em que os colonizadores cortaram as mãos dos africanos, especialmente as crianças, como castigo e exemplo de autoridade. In the art of post-memory, artists often revisit the colonial past to re-interpret striking historical archives which have been silenced or forgotten by recent generations. One of the subjects that has elicited a series of profound artistic responses is the archival trace of the severing of hands; a particularly horrifying episode of the colonial period in the Belgian Congo, when colonizers cut off the hands of African people, especially children, as punishment, and as an assertion of authority. |
