“A Luta Continua” in Xullaji’s Projeto Prétu: An analysis of the video-manifesto as a narrative of political resistance

In this article, we analyze the video-manifesto of the song “A Luta Continua” by Xullaji’s Prétu project, exploring its potential as a tool for social intervention that proposes a reflection on colonialism, neoliberalism and the dynamics of exploitation of the African continent. Using a qualitative approach, we investigated the themes addressed, the visual and sound resources, also drawing on work already done on the artist and pieces published in magazines and newspapers. This study seeks to discuss the role of this video-manifesto as an alternative digital media in the cultural debateon social dynamics in Portugal, especially in relation to migratory experiences and narratives of resistance. In addition, we analyze how the video manifesto can engage the public, helping to confront perspectives rooted in the country’s social imaginary.
