Third session of the Transatlantic Biographies programme, a guided visit and conversation about the lives of António (or Vitória) and Francisco Manicongo, enslaved Black people persecuted by the Portuguese Inquisition for gender transgressions.

Full details

Brief Introduction Transatlantic Biographies is a programme of visits to the permanent exhibition of the Museu de Lisboa – Palácio Pimenta, followed by a conversation about slavery, the Inquisition and religiosity. The third session proposes a critical immersion in the lives of enslaved Black people persecuted by the Portuguese Inquisition for gender transgressions. Synopsis Two 16th-century cases were selected: that of António (or Vitória), an enslaved Black person in Portugal, originally from the Kingdom of Benin, and that of Francisco Manicongo, an enslaved Black person in Brazil, originally from the Kingdom of Kongo. Both affirmed feminine gender identities. Condemned for sodomy, a category that at the time covered sexual and gender behaviours considered deviant, these individuals were subjected to severe punishments for expressing identities outside the colonial and Christian norm. By giving visibility to these silenced stories, we invite reflection on the historical mechanisms of control over racialized and dissident bodies. Through inquisitorial sources and contemporary research, the activity offers a space to discuss the intersections between racism, colonialism and transphobia, highlighting how gender resistance was present in the trajectories of enslaved people and continues to resonate in current struggles for memory and historical reparation.

Show original (Portuguese)

Breve Introdução Biografias Transatlânticas é um programa de visitas à exposição permanente do Museu de Lisboa , Palácio Pimenta, seguidas de uma conversa em torno da escravatura, a inquisição e a religiosidade. A terceira sessão propõe uma imersão crítica nas vidas de pessoas negras escravizadas, perseguidas pela Inquisição portuguesa por transgressões de género. Sinopse Foram selecionados dois casos do século XVI, o de António (ou Vitória) , pessoa negra escravizada em Portugal, natural do Reino do Benim, e o de Francisco Manicongo, pessoa negra escravizada no Brasil, natural do Reino do Congo. Ambos afirmaram identidades de género femininas. Condenados por sodomia, uma categoria que à época abrangia comportamentos sexuais e de género considerados desviantes, estes indivíduos foram alvos de punições severas por expressarem identidades fora da norma colonial e cristã. Ao dar visibilidade a estas histórias silenciadas, convidamos à reflexão sobre os mecanismos históricos de controle dos corpos racializados e dissidentes. Através de fontes inquisitoriais e investigações contemporâneas, a atividade oferece um espaço para discutir as intersecções entre racismo, colonialismo e transfobia, destacando como resistências de género estavam presentes nas trajetórias de pessoas escravizadas e continuam a ressoar nas lutas atuais por memória e reparação histórica. Título original Entre saias e galés Corpos dissidentes no Atlântico negro: Vitória do Benim e Francisco Manicongo inserido no programa Biografias Transatlânticas Informações Adicionais Visita Orientada e Conversa Preços Geral - 5€
