MADONNA IN LISBON: DIASPORA UPSIDE DOWN

Carla Fernandes was born in Angola and grew up in Portugal. After studying Translation, she moved to Germany to work for Deutsche Welle’s Portuguese language editorial team for Africa, where she worked in production of news reports and radio soap operas. Presently she works as a journalist and free-lance radio producer, podcaster and cultural agent. She created “Rádio Afrolis” in 2014, a program where she covers issues of importance to Lisbon’s Afrodescendant communities, and she presides to a non-profit association animated with the same goals. She is the organizer and a co-author in the “Djidiu a herança do ouvido” poetry anthology. She is a PhD student in the Media and Society in the Context of the Community of Portuguese-speaking Countries at the Universidade Autónoma de Lisboa.

Daniel da Silva is Assistant Professor of Portuguese at Rutgers University – New Brunswick, with a Ph.D. in Latin American and Iberian Cultures from Columbia University, New York. He teaches Portuguese language and lusophone cultures, and seminars on race, feminist studies, and queer theory with a focus on Portuguese-speaking histories and communities. He researches queer performance and popular music in lusophone cultures, has published on queer fado and transgressive voices in Brazilian popular music. His forthcoming book is Trans Tessituras: Queer Repertoires and Black Diaspora in Lusophone Popular Music. These interests were nurtured growing up in Newark’s Ironbound neighborhood, a lusophone enclave of New Jersey, and performing on dimly lit stages in New York dive bars.
