"We read slow to let things fall apart, to help each other fall apart, to hold each as we fall apart." - Tonika Seale Thompson and Stefano Harney
Mokia Dinnyuy Manjoh - a Nso native of Cameroon, based in Nicosia.
He is a writer and cultural worker, working across pedagogy, publishing and curating – drawing from the legacies of those who situated themselves rhetorically, materially and militantly in pursuit of a decolonial vision of the world, often at the cost of their own lives.
He curates, organises and publishes with SAVVY Contemporary in Berlin and in Limbe, Cameroon, he organises with SAVVY Kwata - a library and community space for preserving knowledge that exists beyond the written word. He teaches at the Dutch Art Institute and is a researcher at the LUCY Lab, University of Cyprus.
His work is a commitment to imagining African Sovereignties through collective study, infrastructure building, and the many acts of seeking.
