The point of departure for Lilla Szász’s photographic project Greetings From My New Home is the story of the retornados, the nearly 800,000 Portuguese citizens who were resettled from Portuguese colonies in Africa (Angola, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau, Cape Verde and São Tomé e Príncipe) to Portugal in and around 1975.

Lilla Szász began work on this project as part of her Budapest Gallery’s Artist Exchange Program residency in Lisbon. She worked closely together on the project with the sociologist Elsa Peralta.
