Unarchiving Democracy: Using Archives in the Fight Against Racism

On 12 March, from 09:30 to 16:00, the workshop “Unarchiving Democracy: Using Archives in the Fight Against Racism” will take place at the School of Social Education and Social Sciences of the Polytechnic Institute of Leiria.

Drawing on the archival materials of the Mário Soares and Maria Barroso Foundation, this workshop will explore issues related to colonial legacies and racism, examining how archives can foster critical reflection on the past and contribute to challenging discriminatory narratives in the present.

The workshop will be led by Melissa Rodrigues, a visual artist, art educator and curator.

This activity is part of an event that Mário Soares and Maria Barroso Foundation is organizing within the framework of the European project FREI - From Resistance to European Integration, funded by the European Union’s CERV programme (Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values).

Free admission, subject to room capacity.
