A video features the exhibition "Irreparáveis Reparos – Kader Attia" at Sesc Pompeia, exploring themes of colonialism and racism. In "Cartografia do Olhar," Ana Beatriz Almeida examines artworks from a decolonial perspective. Artistic projects at SP-Arte promote non-white representation, aiming to deconstruct white hegemony in Brazilian arts. The environmental crisis is linked to colonialism and racism, questioning what happens when the world is undone. Decolonial and de-othering concepts imagine a post-national politics and new subjectivities, with this being the first part of a series.
