The content includes two-part essays titled "Decolonial, des-outrização: imaginando uma política pós-nacional e instituidora de novas subjetividades" exploring post-national politics and new subjectivities. Another piece examines Afro-Brazilian and Black art, challenging the complicity between aesthetic devices and colonial structures.
