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.
