Last February I photographed Beatriz Gomes Dias, a congresswoman of the Portuguese Parliament who has taken the initiative for the slave monument organization in Lisbon. Confronting Portugal's colonial past (a 400-year period of the slave trade) with its multiracial present is divisive so "We want this monument to bring life to the debate around racism today," says Ms. Gomes Dias.
This was my latest assignment for the Dutch newspaper NRC and due to the Coronavirus outbreak, it was not published until now. If it made sense to be published back then, what to say about it these days?
