What does it mean to be a Black woman in Portugal?

15 Jan 2026

---

This is the question that Christine Job, writer, strategist and podcaster of the award-winning Flourish in the Foreign, has been asking for her Artistic Residency project at Casa Mísia, in Lisbon.

Based on more than 8 years of living and working abroad — and on more than 100 interviews with Black women across several continents —, Christine's work explores the voluntary migration of Black women as a process of resistance to systemic oppressions. The central question is: can living abroad be a path to well-being for Black women? How do we live, work, create and care when we choose to live differently. Her investigation encompasses oral narrative, cultural memory and the praxis of liberation. 

On the 15th, at 7 pm, at KEF, Christine will share part of her field research material in a live and communal way, followed by a broader informal conversation about the intersection of migration, Blackness, feminism, belonging and reinvention.
