Description
Summary:In this article, from the author’s personal experience, the double face of modernity and its rhetoric it’s shown, both as salvation narrative and as coloniality, in which context the cognitive operation of colonization of aesthesis by aesthetics is given. Following it, diverse trajectories are shown in the art works of Fred Wilson, Pedro Lasch and Tanja Ostojic, who carry out performative processes in which their decolonial character becomes visible. These works force the decolonization of history and art criticism, toward the construction of decolonial aesthesis and subjectivities.
