In-person talk: Coloniality of technology, decolonization of sensibility

Participate in this conference on technology, coloniality, feminism, and epistemic disobedience with researcher Paola Ricaurte

The Museo de Arte Moderno de Medellín (MAMM) invites you to the in-person talk “Coloniality of technology, decolonization of sensibility”, a lecture by renowned researcher Paola Ricaurte, an expert in digital culture, artificial intelligence, and decolonial thought.

This talk is aimed at students, researchers, activists, and people interested in the intersections of technology, critical studies, feminism, and social movements. Ricaurte will address how sociotechnical assemblages are tools where power is configured, and how these technological devices perpetuate colonial, patriarchal, and Eurocentric hierarchies. From a decolonial feminist perspective, the talk proposes disobeying dominant epistemologies and thinking about situated, plural, and sustainable technologies.

During the gathering, the following topics will be discussed:

• The coloniality of power inscribed in digital and algorithmic technology.

• The role of data and artificial intelligence in the reproduction of inequalities.

• Alternatives from indigenous and community onto-epistemologies.

• The value of epistemic resistance, technological sovereignty, and the decolonization of sensibility.
