Luiza Munhoz

Hey! I am Luiza, a Brazilian internationalist pursuing a Master’s degree in Local Development at the University of Padova. I have been a member of TOLD magazine since its release and it has been a pleasure to contribute to the discussion of topics so relevant to local development in a multi-cultural environment. I love cities, traveling, dogs, and nature. My main topics of interest in research are cities, rivers, and sustainable development, with a particular attention to diversity and inclusion.

The uncomfortable, constant, and necessary work of decolonization

Imagine sitting down for a cup of tea with an artist, while she unravels her life’s stories and discusses reshaping our understanding of history, through a rich blend of artistic expressions. This is the captivating experience that "Things I Found Nelle Viscere" by Camilla Pontiggia has offered to us last June, at the Museum of Geography in Padua, followed by a discussion with the audience, moderated by Prof. Mariasole Pepa, from University of Padua. The exhibition weaved together stories and visceral feelings experienced in the immigration between two continents, Africa and Europe, delving into deep places of memory and lived experiences. The title hints at Camilla's belief that embracing the visceral and uncomfortable sensations that the exhibition provokes can be a powerful decolonial and political act.
