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.

#Rhizome : Paula Nascimento in conversation with Maria João Teles-Grilo

African Mobilities examines the possibilities for creative intervention and strategies of
interruption by way of obstructions, gaps, pauses, and logistical counterpoints that contest
sedimentation and permanent enclosure. It advances towards a more relational, multi-scalar
and multi-sited approach to an exploded space-time through which the majority of circulation
occurs on the African continent. It connects architects and other creative practitioners,
theorists, and scholars from fourteen different locations, including Johannesburg, Kampala,
Addis Ababa, Luanda, Abidjan, Lagos, New York, Dakar, Nairobi, and Praia. Together, we
hope to build a living archive of contemporary African thinking that presents alternative ways
of creating urban realities.
