There, Is The City… And, Here Are My Hands

Edited, curated, and annotated by Menna Agha & Ola Hassanain

This collection can be seen as a fugitive practice in which a group of seven people came together and told stories in order to put into words what they referred to as “Afro-geographies in European enclaves”. It is a storytelling exercise that serves to illuminate their African peoplehood against a backdrop of cities that did not want them and in countries that did not love them back. These are stories of the migrant, the diasporic, the displaced and their carved-out places, spoken aloud to makes sense of their own spatiality and shake the Eurocentric epistemic grounds on which they have been forced to stand.
