‘Those stories created for our sublimation assume a single state, a single story. 

Quantum Superposition is a state in which a particle or waves can exist in two positions in space simultaneously. 

As Africans who live in the diaspora, this state of being, of occupying multiple spaces is fundamental to our experience.

This state of being

Here, there,

Now, then

Corporal, transcendental.

We piece these things together to make sense of the whole. 

These things, fragments, histories and mythologies become our stories 

Created as a form of resistance, through a conservation of our traditions, ideas and beliefs.

These stories are multi-dimensional and speak of shared and disparate perspectives from the continent and its diaspora.’
