Under the title Carta(s), the Museo Reina Sofía seeks to broaden some of the debates that unfold in the institution and beyond. Carta(s), the result of a joint project between the Museo’s Editorial Activities and Public Activities Departments, looks to draw attention to the reverberations between initiatives driven and welcomed by the Museo’s different lines of research and artistic and critical production. This sixth volume has been carried out inside the framework of the Ánibal Quijano Chair, from the Museo’s Study Centre, in the pursuance of opening a channel of collective reflection-action by means of the contributions of Latin American decolonial thought, particularly the theory of the coloniality of power formulated by Peruvian intellectual Aníbal Quijano (1928–2018), with the aim of incorporating it into the myriad viewpoints today that divest modernity of its primal promises.
