Decolonial Visions and Politics of the ImaginationThe exhibition In the Skeleton of the Stars explores the political potential of the ima-gination, focusing on the Caribbean and the Amazon Basin. It showcases memo-ries, narratives, and histories that have informed the region's imaginary, including indigenous mythologies and the violent conquest of the South American continent, through what Édouard Glissant has called the "tropical night" and its "spirits and figu-res that weigh on the shoulders." The tropical night-the sound and the silence, the darkness and the light-opens a portal to different orders of reality, unshackling the imagination and enabling us to re-configure our position in the world.In the Skeleton of the Stars is inspired by the decolonial and ecological vision of the Guyanese writer Wilson Harris. His stories portray a quest for the union of nature and humanity, delving into the alchemist thinking in which the material world is inextri-cably connected to the human soul. Harris limns a collective unconscious in which humans, nature, flora, and fauna share a common being that bridges distances of time and cultural differences.With works by Minia Biabiany, Pamela Colman Smith, Karl Joseph and Marc-Alexandre Tareau, Mirtho Linguet, Loren Minzú, Beatriz Santiago Muñoz, Marcel Pinas, and Apichatpong Weerasethakul, and essays by Mathieu Kleyebe Abonnenc, Lea Altner, Lorna Burns, Malcom Ferdinand, and Jonathan D. Hill.
