Decolonizing Materiality in Ecological Networks in the Global South

This study explores decolonizing materiality in ecological networks of the Global South through Indigenous performative epistemes. It examines how embodied rituals, oral traditions, and practices challenge colonial paradigms, reaffirming sustainable environmental relationships. Using decolonial frameworks like Mignolo’s epistemic delinking and Viveiros de Castro’s relational ontology, it highlights the role of Indigenous performances in ecological knowledge, agency, and resistance, advancing sustainable futures for the Global South.
