DECOLONIAL
THOUGHTS

DT challenges colonial traditions that define contemporary culture and global knowledge production.

Dorées, un détournement de l'espace public colonisé (They are golden, a hijacking of colonized public space)  by Ambre Guetin Leperlier

"Dorées, un détournement de l'espace public colonisé" ("They are golden, a hijacking of colonized public space"), uses dance and the human body to question colonial legacies still celebrated in Parisian public spaces, such as street names and statues. Ambre highlights how these symbols perpetuate historical oppressions, while pointing out the invisibility of Black and racialized women in public celebrations. Through dance, she challenges this erasure and constructs an alternative narrative, offering a space for belonging and identity beyond the dominant French national narrative.
