After a short overview on the decolonial prospective emerging in past years from critical analysis and praxis, this conversation questions the value of art and monuments in public space and both the evocative power and the political character of the representations they embody. Starting from the triangle of monuments that form the Porte Dorée in Paris and retracing a spatial and collective investigation of this place, Françoise Vergès rewires the threads of memory of the French and global colonial era. The interview aims to outline critical and plural paths to address the question of the decolonial resignification of public space by escaping the polarisation of the debate occurred during the recent global movement contesting colonial monuments in the public space.
