My research can be seen as an affirmative engagement with postcolonial becomings in a world of climate change, where re-turning (Barad) the very notion of Human seems key to survival. Taking colonialism as the foundation of the extractivist and segregational world-making that fuels climate change, I set out to explore journeyings towards other homes, beyond the Eurocentric becoming of the Human.

I move and think-with Cabo Verde, an island nation in the ”Global South” and part of the cradle of colonialism. My inquiry tries to befriend and journey with such notions as creolization (Glissant, Sousa) and the black Atlantic (Gilroy), as well as with posthumanist, feminist, and postqualitative approaches (e.g. Braidotti, Iman Jackson, Barad, St. Pierre).

I’m curious about organisational becomings as a process of bodies in motion and in care. In a postqualitative vein, I engage in diffractive correspondence with three entanglements: the artistic process of a dancer and choreographer, the social and political processes of an alternative space for art and activism, and the ocean as matter, relation, and imaginary. My aim is not to describe a certain practice, or representationally convey a culture or an organisational form. Instead, guided by the notions of re-turning Human, journeying home, and failing gracefully, my invitation is to a joint meditation on ways of organisationally becoming otherwise with the world.
