Based on the building material Tabby — cement made from oysters — an exhibition on preservation cycles is proposed in which the materials appeal to the memory of diasporas around the world. With an emphasis on Portugal's colonial past and its relationship with the United States of America, the project includes the creation of a website that will serve as a map-archive of stories of marginalised communities.
