Even today, the echoes of colonization saturate relationships and manifest itself in gender inequality, expressed in the inferior position of women. While women's realities have improved, the concerns of daily security, equal profit and participation in the shaping of society remain a global challenge.

However, through play and imagination, children distance themselves from imposed narratives and create their own stories. In São Tomé today, it’s a frequent sight to see boys across the island playing with their tabua (self-made bodyboard), not only demonstrating their creativity but also offering new ideas and interactions that support the development of the social imagination. To stimulate creativity and in an attempt to contribute to new social imaginaries that favour greater gender equality, Nunes facilitated a space where boys engage girls in typical boys' games, such as the tábua (bodyboard game). By creating space for mixed-gender playing and learning, Nunes embraces the unifying power of games, promotes play as a tool for reflection and valorises the role of children in in the creation of a more equitable society.

During the X Biennial of São Tomé, À (re)Descoberta de NÓS (Rediscovering Ourselves), Nunes shows an installation in which she combines two of her own paintings with a tabua, crafted by the generation that initiated this from of play in Santana. During her project O mundo imaginário, girls were involved in the game for the first time. The board symbolises the resurgence of social imageries in São Tomé and represents a movement towards gender equality. The paintings envision a possible future. Collectively, the installation reflects on the colonial past, its impact on gender issues and suggests new perspectives for the future.
