Overview

This book brings together 13 contributions which reflect upon the relation between worlds and arts from Africa, the Black Atlantic and the Indian Ocean. How do alternative worlds emerge in configurations of literature, visual arts, performance, art curation and film? Questioning notions of clearly defined borders, the essays offer a processual perspective of worlds constantly in the making.
