UMA GAROTA PROPAGANDA PARA O IMPÉRIO: O CASO DE ROSINHA NA EXPOSIÇÃO DO PORTO DE 1934.

During the First Portuguese Colonial Exhibition in 1934, in the city of Porto between June and September 1934, there was a black woman named Rosinha, from the Balinese ethnic group of Guinea, who became an attraction in the colony's pavilion. Registered in a eroticized pose by Domingos Alvão's lenses, Rosinha inspired sculptures, prints, postcards, advertisements, magazine covers and cartoons that saw in her a muse - a "Portuguese" - that personified the integrating project.
