The communication and workshop “Thinking about (in)visible Identities in Textbooks” of the [in]visible project [2022.05056.PTDC] took place on November 17, 2023 at the School of Communication and Arts of Eduardo Mondlane University (ECA/UEM), in Maputo (Mozambique), organised by margarida dias. The workshop, part of the 8ei_ea - INTERNATIONAL MEETING on ARTS EDUCATION (https://eiea.fba.up.pt/2023/), was attended by approximately 50 people from Mozambique, Brazil, and Portugal, and was supported by José Carlos de Paiva, Paulo Nogueira, and David Neves.
After the presentation, seven working groups were formed. Six groups analysed Portuguese textbooks for Social & Environmental Studies, and one group analysed a Mozambican textbook for Portuguese-Mathematics. All the textbooks were for the 1st year and were being used in schools during the 2023/2024 school year. First, each group analysed one textbook, and then they shared their analyses and comments with all the participants.

"How can illustration approach the non-representable?"
The question is linked to ways of commemorating the children who died during the Holocaust and what kind of representations could be appropriate. As part of a workshop drawing process, information is unfolded about children whose existence was previously documented only by the ghetto archives and the deportation lists made by the Nazi-German administration of Litzmannstadt ghetto.
The methodology has been developed though workshops. In the final step of part I, the project investigates how the material may be developed to a book/archive.
