In her video installations, paintings and collages, Melody LaVerne Bettencourt prepares a stage populated by women freedom fighters and hybrid identities. Her interest is directed towards the role of women in post-colonial societies or during times of change/revolution. Material is provided by her own origin, the history of the native land of her mother, Cape Verde. In this respect, this group of islands is interesting as it was the first outpost for deportations of Africans on the way to the Americas and as a former Portuguese colony it only gained its independence in 1975. The memory of the change is fresh and Bettencourt takes advantage of this in a series of interviews with women contemporary witnesses.
