–

These writings have been caught in the ladder of my throat for years. They have stumbled in obscurity, tumbled with insecurity, illuminated the path of curiosity for many creatives and now they are making light into this world as a way for me to define presence, criticality and engagement more holistically. Sharing is a lesson in generosity and truth-telling.

This is an assemblage of current and past work from the last fifteen years and is a glimpse into the microcosms of informal art spaces and institutional bodies across the Caribbean and further afield. The words, reflections, exposés and travelogues are portals to other ways of being, understanding and coming to terms with our post-colonial contexts, inherent messiness and transformation.

Calabash Transmissions and Cosmotechnics: World-Making in Tabita Rezaire’s Des/astre

This writing explores Des/astres (2024) by Tabita Rezaire as a cosmotechnical installation rooted in African and Indigenous epistemologies. Through the symbolic force of the calabash and the spatial practices of rest and ritual, Rezaire enacts a decolonial, pluriversal pedagogy in which ancestral technologies reconfigure knowledge, time, and the cosmic order. The full essay is printed in WMW NOW #1: Tabita Rezaire, published by KHM-Museumsverband, Vienna, Austria.
