'I started my research looking for a revolution and that took me to study the 1974 Carnation Revolution in Portugal. I started with this idea that if I understood what they, the ones who participated in the revolutionary process, were fighting for in 1974, I could understand what I should fight for in the present time, or at least realise how the same kind of revelation could happen in the present. But the answers that we get from the past are not exactly the answers we need in the present. Nostalgia fools us, and makes us believe the past is the solution for the present. But if we take away History, what stays?"
Margarida is interesting in questioning history and the consequences that historical happenings have in the present time. At the moment she is working on Portugal. About how not to lose a country. About transforming the idea of country.
