The exhibition Estéticas Descoloniales is curated by Walter Mignolo, Argentine-born literary critic and professor of literature at Duke University in the United States. Mignolo has made contributions to the field of Cultural Anthropology, Cultural Studies and Literary Theory. In recent years his work has focused on exploring concepts such as colonialism, geopolitics of knowledge, postmodernism, border thinking, among others. This exhibition is organized on the basis of seven “nodes” that are part of an international network of doing and thinking-colonial. Exposure in “knots” can be taken as a metaphor for global rhizomatic connections to the de-colonial thinking and being, the release of “thinking “, the ability and willingness to “think of us.” In turn, each of these “knots” is co-developed by national and international curators. The curators responsible for the organization of the samples are Santiago Rueda, Pedro Pablo Gómez (University District) and María Elvira Ardila (MAMBO).
