Visit my digital humanities project In the Wake of Ferguson here. 

Synopsis: Inspired by George Ekem Ferguson’s expeditions and map-making, this digital humanities website centers the world of relations within which he worked. This project invites you to explore the entangled human and nonhuman conditions that followed in the wake of Ferguson. This more-than-human world is enacted through scientific, humanities, and artistic contributions by employing experimental film,photography, audios, visual art, poetry, historical fiction, and creative non-fiction. 

Broadly, kwabena’s research lies in the intersection between science, technology and society studies and (West) African history. His work uses multispecies analytics to foreground entanglements (conditions) among cosmologies, materialisms, the histories of empire, colonialism, environment, capitalism, and contemporary art and curatorial practices and their bearance on social categories including race (Blackness/body), ethnicity, kinship, gender and class.
