Art histories and indigenous visualities

Abstract

This issue of MODOS: Revista de História da Arte features twenty new texts. Among them, we would like to highlight the articles in the dossier "Curatorial processes and exhibitions of indigenous art in/of Latin America". The selected texts discuss the broad process of reflection that seeks to examine the historical conditions in which indigenous visual productions are being seen, exhibited and understood. The issue lies not only in the belated strategies to give greater visibility to the production of indigenous artists and incorporate it into institutional collections dedicated to the arts, but also in the predisposition to question our intellectual apparatus, which has established classificatory hierarchies, aesthetic frameworks and rigid forms of thought that have structured the canonical art history.
