This thesis explores what it means to be human guided by Sylvia Wynter’s thought provoking trajectory “Towards the Human, after Man” and Denise Ferreira da Silva’s encompassing book Toward a Global Idea of Race (2007); and argues that at the core of contemporary humanness lies a struggle defined by a racialized order of human existence. This struggle informs not only those racialized Others but to varying degrees impacts all human beings on a global scale. As a form of tentacular thinking this thesis contributes in troubling the colonial category of the human by introducing the figure of the human adoptee of color in relation to a decolonial ethics of care and healing.

“The work of Fina Miralles—artist born in Sabadell, Barcelona—is not that well known. Her actions, understood from today’s perspective—were not really performances but the enactment of a necessary philosophy: to simply perceive the sun, and, then understand its energy; to interact and even tie yourself to a tree, to understand its form, its life; to be halfway buried on earth, to sense it… All simple but all aimed to what we need, a thought and an experiential system capable of surpassing the binary culture/nature.”—Chus Martinez
