The tutor Claire Bishop and Nuno Crespo curated "The Time (s) of
Contemporaneity 2: Decolonizing the Future" to bring together artists and
intellectuals to debate the relationship between art, ethnicity, institutions,
and the legacy of colonialism. Decolonisation was approached in the broadest
sense: from recognition of colonial legacies today to an existing system of
repression and to a practice that affirms different forms of repressed
knowledge. Guest speakers explored decolonial methodologies in museums and
galleries, ways of critically interacting with the colonial past, and how Third
World feminisms used revolutionary socialism. Seminar convened by the
Colectivos Pláka, Porto City Hall with Dora García, Emanuel Lopes (Cadjigue),
Filipa César, Françoise Vergès, Kader Attia and Marinho de Pina.
