The Extra-Territories project is presented by the curators Heloísa Vivanco, Jorge Reis and Mafalda Duarte Barrela together with the artist Victor Leguy and aims to intersect the history of the city of Mazagão with the notions of abjection, subjectivity, power and hegemony, by recurring to the works of critical theorists, namely Judith Butler, Michel Foucault, Antonio Gramsci, and Eduardo Viveiros de Castro. Both a Portuguese ex-colony in Morocco and a city in Amapá, Brazil, Mazagão’s story is one of limitlessness, border-crossing, and transgression.

The project will be executed in four different moments in time and space (the first two will happen before July 2021):

1-The creation of an online platform that will work as a digital archive of data collection;
	
2-Conversations with Mazagão locals to map community representatives and build the third phase of the project on a horizontal basis;

3-During the Festas de São Tiago, a week of festivities and historical recreation of the failed attempt of the moors to conquer the territory in Morocco in 1769, a counter-narrative performance by the artist Victor Leguy with locals will take place in July 2021;

4-A documentary exhibition about the history of Mazagão, since its early years in Morocco to today’s activities in Brazil, in the Church of Santiago in Torres Vedras, Portugal. There is a possibility that the exhibition will be shown during the “Novas Invasões” festival (late August, early September 2021).
