Peruvian artist Sandra Gamarra´s Good Government and the Decolonial Turn
By Martin Macdonald Good Government at Sala Alcalá 31 in the Spanish capital is a poignant exercise in decolonisation from Lima-born, Madrid-based artist Sandra Gamarra . Curated by Valencian art historian Agustín Pérez Rubio , the exhibition features Gamarra´s new and recent pieces alongside crafts by native Peruvian artisans as well as paintings dating back to the Viceroyalty of Peru. In line with decolonial curatorial practices that explore coloniality´s structural forms of privilege and bias, Good Government also questions hispanicity, museological display, the avant-garde and hegemonic history.
