A polyphonic circle for an old conversation, whose end is not at sight. Once in a while, and history often changes, the “Black renaissance” is announced. It is the Harlem Renaissance, the apotheosis of Josephine Baker, Charleston invades Lisbon clubs, and at the same time the “heroes of the sea” carry out occupation campaigns in Africa.
The year is 2024, Crioula Lisbon, the «Afro» prefix forcibly inserted into everything and everywhere, and Cláudia Simões is unfairly and shamelessly condemned.
Breaking with racism? Black face of oneself or a critical caricature of the caricature? Or: the creative source of Blackness springs abundantly and a legion of tokens, Negrophiles and gatekeepers of art and of academia, eager to extract it, eager to appropriate it, salivate and set up shiny traps.
