Mozambican Empress III Painting

"This is a portrait of one of Emperor Ngungunhana's wives is based on a historical photograph. Seven of the Empresses were reported and taken prisoners in 1896 along with Ngungunhana and others to Portugal, after being captured by Mouzinho de Albuquerque. It is believed that all seven women were sent to São Tomé island, some dying there, others eventually being allowed to return to Mozambique. “Don’t leave us in memory”, they asked – “not even in badly remembered memories. Give us wings, strength to tell our story – to take part in the future. We do not exist without our weaknesses – and we cannot overcome anything without being aware of these. So that our absence is just that – a physical fact. ” (And the other one screamed, “we are not a mere footnote!”) Coffee and charcoal on 200gsm Canson paper, 29.9 x 21.1 cm each"
