Nayansaku Mufwankolo is a teacher of cultural studies and critical theory, a trainer and consultant in diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I), as well as a poet and researcher. Their research, conducted through poetry and installation, focuses on Afrocosmic autofiction—a concept that blends quantum physics and astrophysics into their narratives—and on how power structures are constructed and perpetuated through discourse.
This event is organised in collaboration with the Afropea Cultural Centre (Centre culturel Afropea) and the MEG – Geneva Museum of Ethnography.
