It features essays from Lee-Ann Martin, Griselda Pollock, and Cédric Vincent, examining significant historical moments such as the Canadian museum protests from 1988 to 1992 and the 1966 Dakar exhibition. The journal also addresses topics like Chimurenga, European indigeneity, and the implications of decoloniality amid Europe's refugee crisis.
