In Europa il razzismo è un fenomeno strutturale che continua ad essere perpetuato anche attraverso l’insegnamento della storia come unica e ufficiale (Adichie, 2020), presentata come neutrale ma che in realtà è parziale, eurocentrica ed intrisa di colonialismo. Il presente elaborato nasce dal desiderio di raccontare l’iniziativa granadina “Memoria Negra”, un percorso di decolonizzazione della storia della penisola Iberica, attraverso canali di espressione artistici. In questo lavoro di ricerca qualitativa si raccolgono le esperienze dei partecipanti (razzializzati e non) coinvolti nell’iniziativa , e alcuni contributi di testimoni privilegiati. Dalle interviste discorsive emerge l'importanza di praticare l'antirazzismo attraverso l'arte, per decolonizzare l'immaginario europeo bianco.

Abstract
In Europe, racism is a structural phenomenon that continues to be perpetuated through the teaching of history as if it's neutral and objective but which in reality is partial, deeply eurocentric and steeped in colonialism. This paper narrates the Granada initiative "Memoria Negra", a path of decolonisation of the history of the Iberian Peninsula, through arts-based methods. This qualitative research recollects the experiences of the participants (racialised and non-racialised) involved in the initiative, as well as some contributions from key informants. From the discursive interviews emerges the importance of practising anti-racism through arts-based methods, in order to decolonise the white European imaginary.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
