I am a cultural studies scholar with expertise in Portuguese-speaking countries and their diasporas. In my research, I address the question of how (postcolonial) cultural identities are negotiated and represented in the contemporary, globalized Portuguese-speaking world, with a special focus on African and Afrodescendant communities. Through analysis of different media (written and oral literatures, cinema and audio-visual production), I try to offer a better understanding of the ideas of (un)rootedness, belonging, migration and displacement, as narrated by writers, filmmakers and performers with affective ties to Portuguese-speaking countries. I have been engaging with artists through in-depth interviews in which they reflect on their work as embedded in and transformative of wider societal dynamics. In my recent research inquiries (as part of HERA-funded collaborative project on night spaces and my ERC-funded ARTIVES project), I have been combining these methods with co-producing and co-curating creative, artistic productions to capture the nuanced, embodied and intertwined nature of imaginaries of diversity and belonging. I am also exploring the potential of such co-creative participatory methods in policy-oriented research on grassroots culture and democracy within the Horizon Europe RIA project Democracy in Action.
