The interview with Rolando Vázquez published in this Quadern Portàtil, ‘Decolonial Aesthesis and the Museum’, takes as its starting point a central plank of decolonial thinking: the fact that there is no history of Western civilisation without slavery. Based on this premise, Vázquez distinguishes decolonial aesthesis from modern aesthetics, modern aesthetics being understood as the order governing the senses and the arts in modern times, and decolonial aesthesis as the plurality of sensory experiences and expressions that extend beyond the modern order of aesthetics.
