The Exhibition on the Colonial Press was held at the Faculdade de Letras Library gallery, Universidade de Lisboa, from the 21st of September to the 21st of October 2022. It was opened on the first day of the congress Liberalism and the Colonial Press.
This display, produced in partnership with the FLUL library, exhibits sources and studies many of them difficult to access or mainly unknown to an audience of academics and other interested parties that reflect the diversity of perspectives mobilised by the colonial press, in this case, related to the Portuguese empire. As a contribution to the intellectual history of the colonial press, this guide shed light on the history of the collections displayed in the collaborative exhibition, and the history of the selected periodicals and memoirs, as well as of the intellectuals who promoted them.
Based on the exhibition, we made a video and a guide that can be downloaded here.
