Margarida Rendeiro presents a talk examining how Lisbon's colonial past is negotiated through contemporary mural art. The discussion focuses on murals across the city and considers who is represented, who remains absent, and which aspects of colonial history are made visible or left unrepresented on Lisbon's walls.
The talk also asks what mural art can do as a form of intervention in public space, including who has the authority to inscribe histories on city walls and what possibilities for recognition, contestation, or repair might emerge. By looking at both representation and absence, it considers how the reparative potential of urban visual culture can be enabled, constrained, or lost.
