#Holes - Blessing Blaai, Kiki Dörman and Solam Mkhabela in conversation by African Mobilities

The Nest Collective In Conversation (represented by Jim Chuchu, Sunny Dolat, and Njoki Ngumi), considers the effects of borders on relations between and among Africans on the Continent. They discuss how art, culture, language, identity and colonial proximities have made kinships between the Continent and the black diaspora more challenging to explore. They reflect on the need for kind, honest, patient discourse by and among the kinfolk to unpack these ongoing conflicts and tensions.

Emanuel Admassu discusses his ongoing research project ‘Two Markets’ with Mpho Matsipa. He suggests that Kariakoo in Dar es Salaam and Merkato in Addis Ababa, offer fragmented portals into two sub-Saharan marketplaces, as sites where identities are constructed in urban marketplaces that are continually performing new interpretations of communality and mutuality in ever-shifting zoning systems.

Paula Nascimento and Maria João Teles-Grilo discuss the concept of the rhizome as explored in the project Beyond Entropy Angola. They explore how ‘Rhizome’ can be understood as a methodology and generator for alternative interventions in the context of urban planning.
