The coloniality is present in the construction of the mind and of the Latin American imaginary. Throught the bibliographical analysis of the postcolonial studies, subalterns and decolonials, the different forms of representation that reproduce the coloniality are addressed, having the "Silence Culture" proposed by Paulo Freire as a possible expression of this relationship of opression. In this way, the aim is to think about the “Silence Culture” concept, as a representation of the coloniality of being, in which the subjects are subdued and withdrawn of the right of critical pronouncement from (their) world, proposing the concept of "Say His Word" as a form of decolonial praxis. We consider that the action of "Saying His Word" becomes an act of epistemic disobedience and humanization of subalternized/colonized/oppressed people’s bodies and minds.

Palabras clave : Decoloniality; Silence culture; Say his word..
