This presentation explores the lingering imprints of colonialism in contemporary art. Each artist engages with the material and symbolic residues of colonial histories, interrogating power structures, cultural hybridity, and the ways in which past oppressions shape present realities.

From Martinat’s deconstruction of political narratives to Marcolini and Sassi’s architectural interventions that reflect on urban colonial legacies, and Isabelle D’s critical engagement with France’s imperial past, this discussion unveils how art serves as both a witness and a challenger to historical continuity. Their works not only revisit the past but also question its role in shaping identity, memory, and resistance in today’s global art scene.
