Reflexões pós-coloniais sobre a coleção do Centro de Arte Moderna da Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian: António Ole, Grada Kilomba, Kiluanji Kia Henda e Mónica de Miranda

This article uses concepts of post-colonial studies (like the need to revise the colonial historical archive, critiques of Eurocentrism and recovery of silenced memories) to promote an epistemological renewal of Western knowledge, characterized by Said, Chakrabarty and Mignolo as a hegemonic practice that marginalizes other cultures and peoples. Given the topical and urgent nature of these theories, recognizing and valuing modern African art is a practice that can renovate dominant ideas and transcend Eurocentric practices. In a concrete example of this recognition, we analyze four works by African or African-descent artists featured in the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation's collection: António Ole, Grada Kilomba, Kiluanji Kia Henda and Mónica de Miranda.
