ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

I warmly thank Walter Mignolo, Pedro Pablo Gómez, and Rolando Vázquez – my decolonial colleagues – for inviting me to publish a series of articles on decolonial aesthesis in their co-edited collections and journals including CALLE14, Estéticas y Opción Decolonial, Arte y Estética en la Encrucijada Descolonial, and Social Text. Periscope, as well as for giving me a chance to share my ideas and intuitions on the intersections of postcolonial and postsocialist artistic and existential experiences at the annual Decolonial Summer School ‘Stolen memories: museums, slavery and (de) coloniality’ and ‘What does it mean to decolonize? Introducing the decolonial option’ in Middelburg, the Netherlands, in 2015 and in 2016. I would also like to thank my postsocialist colleagues from Poland, Slovakia, Estonia, Latvia, and Romania, with whom we have collaborated in different book and journal projects and conferences on the intersections of postsocialist and postcolonial sensibilities. Our many illuminating conversations,
