César González's Anti‐Racist Aesthetic Praxis at the Intersection of Race, Class and Space in Argentina
This article examines the aesthetic praxis of Argentine author and filmmaker César González as an example of anti‐racist art that challenges the often‐sidelined racism faced by residents of poor neighbourhoods (known as villeros ), who are frequently presented as Argentina's Other. By looking at a selection of his theoretical writings and interviews, alongside close readings of selected extracts from his novels and films, we show how González's a…
Art and Anti-Racism in Latin America
In this collection, artists and researchers collaborate to explore the anti-racist effects of diverse artistic practices, specifically theatre, dance, visual art and music. By integrating the experiences of Black, Indigenous and mestizo ('mixed-race') artists from Argentina, Brazil, and Colombia, the text interrogates how art with anti-racist intent works in the world and brings special attention to its affective dimensions. Latin America's parti…
Curated Conversation 2: Decolonising the Arts in Latin America
A conversation curated from an online event, Decolonising the Arts in Latin America: Anti-Racist Irruptions in the Art World .

Race and the shantytown in a race-less country
In this article, we look at the racialization of the people living in precarious and informal urbanizations known as villas in Argentina. In a country traditionally defined by narratives of whiteness and Europeanness, villeros have functioned as a central figure of racial otherness. Though some studies acknowledge the racism suffered by villeros, how this racialization has unfolded and transformed over time remains a question rarely examined. Her…

YouTube Kitsch and the Racial Politics of Taste in the Andes
This article looks at “Torres gemelas,” a YouTube video by Ecuadorian indigenous musician Delfín Quishpe, which went viral in the late 2000s, reaching millions of views. I argue that this video, and associated phenomena, can be considered a paradigmatic example of how some contemporary indigenous creators are radically redefining their relationship with globalized and localized cultures in a context of unprecedented technological change and times…
The Darkening Nation
Visuality, Coloniality and Modernism in the Gran Chaco
In recent years, Grete Stern's series of photographs of indigenous people from northern Argentina's Chaco region have been the subject of increasing attention. Most critics argue that in these images it is possible to find one of the best examples of the convergence of her humanist concerns with the fate of oppressed and persecuted people and her modernist approach to photography. Consequently, a narrative is put forward that connects Stern's ear…
