Loose Thoughts No. 10 - Decolonizing Quiet Luxury
11m | Dec 21, 2023In this episode, I reflect on quiet luxury and offer a short overview of the expressions of luxury in the colonial Spanish Americas. While they were certainly influenced by early modern European thought, ideas about luxury in the colonial Americas were also necessarily tied to Indigenous knowledge and worldviews. As such, they might help us devise alternative (and more inclusive) forms of conceiving luxury worldwide.
