La Panera Art Center of Lleida presents in its exhibition Descolonicemos el mundo(Decolonize the World) a conceptual tour through the production of Regina Jose Galindo (Guatemala City, Guatemala, 1974) in which a decolonizing approach prevails. Although in some cases of her work this process is not so evident, this view can be traced from the geographical experience of the artist's country of origin and its process of colonization and independence.

The trajectory of Barbara Brändli (Schaffhousen, Switzerland 1932 - Caracas, Venezuela, 2011) in photography requires a conscientious analysis of several points. Without stopping at them, it is very likely to miss the reason for her approach, her vision that transcends the documentary as a simple objective or her contributions to that world that she began to consolidate in that Venezuela of welcome on her arrival in South America from her native Switzerland.

The title of the 60th International Art Exhibition of the Biennale di Venezia, "Stranieri Ovunque", refers, in part, to foreignness as the inherent nature of the subject. Understood in this way, the national pavilions of Spain, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom exhibit artistic proposals that develop the theme of colonialism and reconstruct histories, remedy ties between identity and territory, and explore the dramatic plurality of this potent historical axis. That said, this review does not intend to unveil or unpack the most unjust transcendental truths, but merely to reflect on the musings of others.

In April 2022, my family suggested we attend the opening of an exhibition by Marisol Escobar, a French-Venezuelan artist whose name was vaguely familiar to me. I wasn’t particularly excited, but wanting to spend time with them, I agreed to go. Little did I know that this visit would leave an incredible mark on me.
