This article seeks to contribute to knowledge about the bilateral relations between Portugal and Brazil and the role played by Portuguese emigration in maintaining these relations during the Military Dictatorship. By analyzing the maritime transport of emigrants between the two countries—a business monopolized by foreign companies from northern Europe—we seek to identify the measures adopted by Portuguese shipping companies in response to this foreign competition and to explain the reasons for their failure.

Entre Junho e Outubro de 2025, o Museu Municipal Santos Rocha, na Figueira da Foz, será palco do ciclo de conversas Confrontar o Legado Colonial no Museu, uma iniciativa promovida pelo projecto TRANSMAT em parceria com o Museu Municipal Santos Rocha que reúne vozes diversas para reflectir criticamente sobre o legado colonial nos museus portugueses.
Ao longo de seis sessões, investigadores/as, artistas, curadores/as, escritores/as, docentes e outras personalidades convidam o público a participar num debate plural e aberto sobre memória, património e identidade. As sessões vão contar com a participação activa de personalidades locais, como Pedro Mota Curto (Diretor do Agrupamento de Escolas Figueira Mar) e Andrea Gaspar (Antropóloga e docente do Agrupamento de escolas zona urbana da Figueira da Foz), reforçando o envolvimento da comunidade da Figueira da Foz neste debate fundamental.

Contamos igualmente com a participação de Aristóteles Kandimba, escritor, investigador, produtor e fundador do Colectivo Tributo aos Ancestrais PT, cujo contributo tem sido fundamental no resgate e valorização das memórias e culturas afro-descendentes em Portugal.
