In a scenario where art has become political, a fundamental issue is raised: understanding the place of this political art. For many, the appropriate spaces for the establishment of art, of any art, remain being the art institutions, especially the museum and its exhibitions, despite the social contradictions that guide their policies and actions. In this study, based on the decolonial incisions of Walter Mignolo, Anibal Quijano, Eduardo Viveiros de Castro and Pedro Pablo Gómez, we sought to investigate the complexities involved in the construction and reception of the exhibition “A Cor do Brasil”, held at the Rio Art Museum between 2016 and 2017, against the background of the processes of decoloniality.
