What tools should be produced to reflect on the museum as a Eurocentric space which is connected to histories of dehumanization, supremacism and multilayered violence? where a group of racialized subjects is analyzed and discussed as objects and where this cultural- production is the basis for the very hierarchic system that we face today? In our performative lecture we reflect from decolonial, queer, Third-world, Latin American intersectional identities on the role of the museum, its relation to historical wounds, and the role that the art education institution could have in breaking with historical continuities.
