Chaque fois que les liens familiaux se défaisaient, chaque fois qu'on se dressait contre son semblable, l'Histoire se répétait. Douloureusement, impitoyablement, dans un entre-soi subsaharien. La traite négrière était à inscrire au patrimoine tragique du genre humain. Parce qu'elle avait impliqué des régions différentes du monde. Parce que les bourreaux n'avaient pas été que d'un seul côté. Parce qu'elle était, à cette échelle-là, le premier crime contre l'humanité dont on ait gardé trace. Celui qui trop longtemps ignoré, avait engendré les autres. Une fois qu'on avait réduit des humains à cela, qu'hésiterait-on à commettre? Devant quoi reculerait-on? Aux quatre coins du monde on se surpasserait pour défier l'horreur. La zone subsaharienne du Continent était concernée au premier chef. Elle avait été la source unique du trafic. On ne s'étaient pas servi ailleurs. Et depuis, les rapports de cette région avec le reste du monde demeuraient les mêmes. Elle était le puits sans fond d'où les autres tiraient leur croissance. Et, comme par le passé, il se trouvait toujours une main autochtone pour participer au crime. Les soulèvements populaires observés çà et là, loin du regard de la Communauté internationale, ne venaient jamais à bout des régimes scélérats. Le mal venait de loin.

This was a project for my final assignment, for my “Fashion, Illustration, & Performance” class at Parsons.. which could potentially become the start of my thesis for this year. The design process of these garments all started with two collages that I created with patterns that I made, then I decided to bring them to life by creating them into garments and wearing them myself.

Vitra Design Museum Gallery

"When many countries in Central and Sub-Saharan Africa gained their independence in the 1960s, experimental and futuristic architecture became a principal means by which the young nations expressed their national identities. The exhibition in the Vitra Design Museum Gallery is one of the first presentations of this remarkable period of more recent architectural history. This exhibition was researched and curated by architect and author Manuel Herz, with a substantial contribution by photographer Iwan Baan. The exhibition documents more than 80 buildings in five countries; Kenya, Côte d’Ivoire, Zambia, Ghana and Senegal. The often heroic and daring designs of parliament buildings, central banks, stadiums, conference centers, universities and independence memorials mirror the forward-looking spirit that was dominant in these countries at the time. However, this architecture also represents the difficulties, contradictions and dilemmas that the young nations experienced in their independence process, as building designs and architects were often imported from foreign countries, if not from one of the former colonial powers.”

The fact is, I don’t think SF can be really utopian. I mean utopia presupposes a pretty static, unchanging, and rather tyrannical world. You know: ‘I know the best way to live, and I’m going to tell you how to do it, and if you dare do anything else…’

ICARUS 13

Premier voyage vers le soleil 

Kiluanji Kia Henda 

Portfolio • La Revue du Crieur 

Icarus 13 est un projet de première importance pour l'Afrique. Grâce aux nouvelles technologies et outils ad hoc, nous avons fabriqué un vaisseau spatial qui nous aidera à développer notre savoir, notre créativité et notre imagination. Il a la capacité d'atterrir sur cette gigantesque étoile qu'est le Soleil, à condition de voyager de nuit. Le rêve autrefois formé par Icare est enfin devenu réalité.
