Looming Creole is an inhabited set and a score. It brings together various spatialities and languages and a multitude of agencies: contemporary digital imaginaries of neo-liberal multinational extractivism as a terra nullius upgrade at the West African coast, and the long-term practice of encoding matter as a poetics of resistance within colonial extractivism. The volume entangles various source/resource codes, warping horizontal threads of fabulations from left to right and from right to left. This deliberate tangle of storylines creates a visual texture that articulates the subversive potency of rituals of quantum weaving as a counter to the engineering of binary extractive epistemologies.
