>About the Exhibition
>In the landscape of colonial Portugal, Lourenço Marques was
            the proud capital of the province of Mozambique.  This work
            is devoted to those who lived and inhabited that time and
            place, and those who rushed to abandon it during a
            three-year process of decolonisation between 1974 and 1976. 
            Many of those former inhabitants will never return and for
            many only a great disenchantment or nostalgia is left.  For
            others, Lourenço Marques evokes memories of a magical space
            and time.  This work is a representation of the city as it
            was before it became known at Maputo in 1975, a memorial
            taking expression in a mosaic of voices and multiple forms
            of visual representation.

>To accompany the launch of the exhibition, Tin Shed will be
            hosting a panel discussion in the Goldsmiths Digital Studios
            focusing on the role of collective memory in the
            construction of community identity and sense of place.  Rui
            Filipe Antunes will open with a discussion of the research,
            that has informed the development of Where is Lourenço
            Marques?, his talk will be followed by Catarina Valdigem
            Pereira and Amal Kalaf.  Pereira will be looking at the
            importance of interior house decorations in the enactment of
            collective memories of belonging amongst Portuguese Muslims
            of Indian and Mozambican origins, while Kalaf will be
            presenting her paper on a year and a half of digital images
            of the Lulu roundabout in Bahrain.
