In The Wake

A laboratory of experimentation

Creating and producing from “the wake” is one way we can produce a decentering of the sedimented ways in which black bodies have been thought about. To be “in the wake”, to experience from the wake, is to make black life, black existence, possible.

We are black bodies, maroon bodies escaping from the ship’s hold. Our escape is constant and expressed in the creation “In the Wake/En la Estela” of possible worlds that are able to resist the reified forms of the ship’s hold-plantation in the colonial metropolis.
