Inhambane, in the south of Mozambique, is the place where Vasco da Gama and his crew are said to have arrived more than 500 years ago, baptising it “Land of Good People”. Inhambane, which is also the land of Panaibra's father, was and continues to be a "land of good people", although such kindness has not prevented it from becoming a colony and other things that human beings have decided to be towards one another. "Memory is rooted in the concrete, in spaces, gestures, images and objects", said Pierre Nora. We are interested in thinking about History from that place and from a crossed thinking that overlaps past, present and future. We are interested in continuing our research into what Paul Carter called “politics of the ground”: “a new way of stepping that doesn’t flatten the ground, but lets the ground climb the body, determining gestures and movements, in a new social choreography.” — André Braga & Cláudia Figueiredo / Circolando – Central Elétrica com Panaibra Canda
