When Sandra Poulson was growing up in the Angolan capital of Luanda, her father used to tell her off by saying, in Portuguese, “Este quarto parece uma República!” The phrase, which translates to “This bedroom looks like a Republic!,” was an indirect order for her to clean up her room, and in some ways likened that messy space to nation-building and political disorder.
Poulson didn’t think about the phrase that way when she was younger. She didn’t think about it much at all until recently. “This sentence is something that I documented at some point in a Post-It,” she said, speaking by video call from Amsterdam, where she is currently in residence at the Rijksakademie. “I think I just remembered it at some point, and I came across it again when I was working on research into semiotic propagandistic distribution.”
