This article explores the symbolic significance of a hat-altar created by the artist Ângela Ferreira, focusing on its allegorical representation of the colonial encounter between Portugal and Mozambique. The analysis draws on Ferreira's own descriptions of the artwork and its connection to historical figures like Vasco da Gama and the broader context of Portuguese colonialism. The hat, a symbol of European identity, is transformed into an altar, suggesting a clash of cultures and a reinterpretation of power dynamics. The article examines how the hat-altar functions as a visual metaphor for the complexities of colonial history and its enduring legacy.
