This is a collaborative and expository show that adopts Gloria Anzaldúa’s idea of artistic work as a healing practice, with the curandería—the art and practice of healing—of Yuderkys Espinosa-Miñoso, a de-colonial philosopher of Afro-Caribbean origin, and Katia Sepúlveda, a visual artist of Chilean origin. Yuderkys and Katia invited a previously selected group of individual and collective activist and community artists to be part of a process of collective creation based on using their own experiences and different enunciative positions to reflect on a series of texts and contexts that herald, with hope, the disappearance of Europe and its world project based on the ego conquiro.

The entire process involved a year-long theoretical and practical seminar and laboratory, which began in 2021, with monthly virtual sessions in which participants reflected, discussed and imagined based on the following questions: What would the world be like if Europe (as a trope) were to disappear? What would it be like if it had never existed? How has time been experienced outside the historical time of European modernity?
