"Decolonization Now": Activism/Artivism from the Ground
with Alicia Grullón
This course takes a hemispheric look at how to think through the goals of decolonialization and how they are shaped by artists, activists, and academics in the post-neoliberal world. We will analyze current activist activities and relevant theory but it is especially through participants' own background, ideas, and work that we will be able to address questions of how decolonizing can remain grounded, continue to make territorial acknowledgements, advocate for restitution and reparations, and create new perception under these ever-changing conditions.
