Under the theme <\/strong><\/strong><em><strong>\u201cTerrit\u00f3rios \u00cdntimos \u2013 Paisagens P\u00f3s-coloniais\u201c<\/strong><\/em><strong><strong>, the artistic residency runs from 8 to 20 November in Lagos and culminates in a group exhibition opening at LAC on 21 November at 18:00.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The residency brings together four artists from different countries:\u00a0<strong>Gisela Casimiro<\/strong>\u00a0(Guinea-Bissau),\u00a0<strong>R. Gritto<\/strong> (Portugal),\u00a0<strong>Samuel Macedo<\/strong>\u00a0(Brazil) and\u00a0<strong>Yuran Henrique<\/strong>\u00a0(Cabo Verde). Working across different artistic practices and media, the artists explore the idea of territory beyond its physical borders. Their work brings individual and collective memories into dialogue with the traces of colonial legacies, offering different perspectives on history, identity and how people relate to the places they inhabit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Gisela Casimiro<\/strong>, born in Bissau in 1984, is an artist, writer, translator and activist. She is the author of\u00a0<em>Eros\u00e3o<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Giz<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>Estendais<\/em>\u00a0and wrote the screenplay for the film\u00a0<em>Speransa<\/em>. She translated Audre Lorde\u2019s\u00a0<em>Sister Outsider<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>The Cancer Journals<\/em>\u00a0into Portuguese. Her work has been exhibited at venues including Galeria Z\u00e9 dos Bois and the Museu Afro-Brasil Emanoel Ara\u00fajo and is held in the Ant\u00f3nio Cachola Collection. She is a co-founder of UNA \u2013 Uni\u00e3o Negra das Artes.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lac.org.pt\/roots-2026-gisela-casimiro\">More about Gisela Casimiro<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>R. Gritto<\/strong>\u00a0is the artistic name of Ricardo Moreira da Silva, a Portuguese author and researcher born in Porto. With an international career, he brings artistic practice and scientific research together in projects such as\u00a0<em>Arquivo Vivo<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Movimento Inverso<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>Jardim Expandido<\/em>. His work explores connections between memory, territory, migration and identity, alongside questions of ecology and technology. In the context of ROOTS 2026, his work considers how memory changes and continues to shape the present.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lac.org.pt\/roots-2026-r-gritto\/\">More about R. Gritto<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Samuel Macedo<\/strong>, a Brazilian photographer and musician, began his training at the Funda\u00e7\u00e3o Casa Grande \u2013 Memorial do Homem Kariri in Nova Olinda, in the state of Cear\u00e1. His approach to portraiture took shape in the Cariri region through encounters with traditional healers, masters of <em>reisado<\/em>\u00a0and singers, whom he calls \u201cartists of the sert\u00e3o\u201d. Combining ethnographic observation with poetic expression, his photography turns to the margins and to forms of knowledge that rarely receive attention, capturing fleeting gestures.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lac.org.pt\/roots-2026-samuel-macedo\">More about Samuel Macedo<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Yuran Henrique<\/strong>\u00a0lives and works between Cabo Verde and Spain. His practice spans sculpture, painting, photography and installation. Using materials such as fabric, steel and pigments, he explores perception and representation through shifts in scale, illusions and juxtapositions of everyday objects. In 2022, he joined \u00c1s\u00edk\u00f3\u2019s programme for artists and curators in Lagos, was recognised by Africa No Filter through its Emerging Artists Fellows programme and collaborated with designer \u00c2ngela Brito to adapt his paintings into prints for a S\u00e3o Paulo Fashion Week runway show.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lac.org.pt\/roots-2026-yuran-henrique\">More about Yuran Henrique<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The accompanying programme includes the conference\u00a0<strong><strong><em>\u201cTr\u00e1fico Humano: O que n\u00e3o vemos\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/strong>, which takes place on\u00a0<strong>15 November at 16:00 at the Museu de Lagos \u2013 N\u00facleo Dr. Jos\u00e9 Formosinho<\/strong>, in partnership with the Museu de Lagos.
