Resumen

This article investigates two artworks that depict opposing views on colonialism using sailing boat imagery: the Monument to the Discoveries and The Boat by Grada Kilomba.

Moreover, the article will consider the role of art in voicing political and social beliefs, as well as the significance of (de)colonial theories in discussions on national identities.
