In 1989, American cultural anthropologist Marshall Sahlins wrote an essay that weaved together two expansive categories of cultural thought: cosmology and capitalism. Sahlins’s essay argued for capitalism as a “world-constituting virtue,” tracing how different indigenous social systems intimated modalities of political economy that emerge from cosmological considerations, and how these, in turn, mediated colonial incursions in terms of trade and exchange. He explains: “Western capitalism has loosed on the world enormous forces of production, coercion, and destruction. Yet precisely because they cannot be resisted, the relations and goods of the larger system also take on meaningful places in the local schemes of things.” In conversation with the South South program, this proposal invites us to think about the cosmological implications of capitalism in the Global South. The artists for this online exhibition imagine how a history of capitalism with its legacies of colonialism continues to inform the flow of capital and its constitution of the world as we know it. From the technology of portraiture, air travel, broadcasting and cryptocurrencies, the traffic of industrial crops and popular sci-fi imaginations of futures, to the categories in which we find ourselves situated: nation, contemporary art, the works for this exhibition tease out how capital—as an expanded category of wealth and as a resource—becomes a generative force with which worlds are created as much as they are recast. In what ways can we appropriate and repatriate capitalist imaginations to conceive of a community, a public and art of the Global South?
