By the other hand, decolonial art is made up of a set of works that aim to separate the artistic production of non-Europeans and non-whites from a supposed position of inferiority based on coloniality.

The results allowed us to explore shared understandings about white identity, contributing to understanding the process of racialization of white spectators.
