jats:pThe graphic memoir jats:italicNotas al pie</jats:italic> (2017) written by Argentinian Nacha Vollenweider includes an illustration which reinterprets an image from the jats:italicNueva corónica y buen gobierno</jats:italic>, a colonial document written by Quechua nobleman Felipe Guamán Poma de Ayala around 1615, when Peru was under Spanish rule. This article argues that if Guamán Poma's image portrays a critique of Western colonial power, Vollenweider's reappropriation follows its aftermath, and targets the structures of jats:italiccoloniality</jats:italic> that underpin the formation of both individual and collective identity.</jats:p>
