Coreo(geo) grafies

In the framework of the exhibitions Maroon Anti-Futurism and The possibility of not having been, the programme Museus (Im)possibles of the Espai Avinyò proposes an exercise that will invite us to ask ourselves and share the implications of collectively thinking about and activating artistic and curatorial processes in a decolonial key from within colonial institutions. In addition, we will reflect on the limits we find when translating decolonial frameworks of interpretation from various geographies and unequal positions of power.

The Museus (Im)possibles cycle, organised by the Espai Avinyó with the collaboration of several cultural equipments in the city, aims to generate different collective learning spaces between artists, professionals and technical staff linked to artistic creation and cultural management in the city. The aim is to rethink and broaden the view in relation to Western imaginaries of cultural diversity present in the exhibition proposals offered by the city's venues, cultural centres, local equipments and museums.
