This article offers the biographical narratives of three artists whose works post-memorially question Portugal’s colonial past and its shadows in the present: Jorge Andrade, actor and director, born in Mozambique; Délio Jasse, artist, born in Angola; Vanessa Fernandes, filmmaker, born in Guinea-Bissau. Our starting point is based on a reconceptualization of the concept of post- -memory developed within the scope of the project Memoirs – Children of Empire and European Post-Memories, which identifies colonial heritage as a transversal issue to define contemporary Europe. Our goal is to provide biographical narratives that allow us to reflect on the impact of the end of Portuguese colonialism on the memories, lives and artistic productions of the generation heir to the experience of the processes of decolonization of territories colonized by Portugal.
