Poster for the conference “The Alter-lives of Independence Movements: Frustrated Hopes, Renewed Utopias”. 26 and 27 June 2026, Lisbon. This conference is part of the Joint International Workshop “Hopes and Fears. Anti-colonial and Postcolonial Imaginaries in the Lusotopy and Beyond”. The poster is illustrated by a photograph of a deteriorated page of the textbook ‘Lutar, Aprender, Vencer, Trabalhar’ (Fight, Learn, Win, Work), published in Bissau by the African Party for Independence of Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde (PAIGC) in 1977. It shows a drawing of a black woman carrying a rifle on her back and a few lines of text, a quote attributed to Amílcar Cabral (hope for the best while preparing for the worse) and a reference to the armed struggle in the liberated zones.
