This volume seeks to probe deeper into the guiding principles of the 20th Contemporary Art Festival Sesc_Videobrasil, highlighting ancestral worldviews, non-hegemonic forms of building knowledge and their respective decolonization tactics, all conducive to an alternative interaction with history and the contradictions of present times. Therefore, Readings affords a more profound dialog between visual arts and other idioms, as well as other fields of knowledge.
