About this exposition

Decades of neglectful housing policies, forced austerity measures and a giant wave of gentrification have left Lisbon’s most vulnerable families in extreme precariousness. With no other options, families resort to ocupying decaying municipal housing or self built communities risking state sanctioned violent illegal evictions, demolitions and jail time. It is impossible to ignore that this situation disproportionally affects racialized people and questions of identity politics in relation to Portugal´s colonial past are raised. The colonial constitution perpetuates the acceptance of the status quo, meaning that certain people leave in the worst places. The same marginalised bodies remain at the margins. Finding methods of story telling and development to avoid othering these communities is key, In other words: How to tell the story of the marginalised without further marginalizing them?
