Description
Altered Views. Voluspa Jarpa offers a proposal for decolonisation through a review of European history, retrieving concepts coined based on a Eurocentric perspective, notions shedding light about the violence which reduces the world to an expansionist, developmentalist, and hegemonic model. Altered Views comprises three reversed cultural spaces/models: the Hegemony Museum, the Subaltern Portrait Gallery, and the Emancipating Opera.
The project collects concepts that defined colony: race and cross-breeding, subordinate male subjects, cannibalism, gender, civilisation and barbarism, monarchy and republic, appealing to a critical view from a transtemporal journey.
