This article examines the intersection of decolonial and migrant environmental aesthetics in contemporary Catalonia. It discusses how migrants in Catalonia use artistic activities to challenge the dominant colonial narrative and incorporate environmental themes. The article also explores the influence of decolonial perspectives on academia and cultural institutions in Catalonia. It highlights the need to challenge the coloniality of academia and promote alternative forms of knowledge production. The article discusses various artistic activities and proposals by migrants in Catalonia that aim to decolonize mentalities, academic and artistic practices, and spaces. However, it acknowledges tensions and paradoxes in these proposals, as they often exist within neoliberal policies and receive support from institutions that may perpetuate colonial injustices. The article suggests the need for further research to explore the effectiveness of these artistic interventions in bringing about social transformations and to examine the relationships between decolonial activities and the institutions that support them. It also emphasizes the importance of acknowledging the specificity of southern Europe and peripheral regions within the European context and considering alternative European cosmologies that challenge the nature-culture binary. The given text provides a list of references to academic articles and books on related topics, serving as a starting point for library patrons conducting research on decoloniality, environmental humanities, intersectionality, and the Anthropocene.
