Hi,
I’m Immaculata, a researcher and artist, and I’m open to commissioned research projects on how things get made in West Africa, and how we are making sense of the world.
for a career bio, visit here.

Note:
I’m still holding on to Grace Lee Boggs’s words via adrienne maree brown: Each one of us is an individual practice ground for what the whole can or cannot do, will or will not do. I’m completing another journey round the sun/the groove of looking at what people (and countries) are doing as what they are practising. Not a badly done version of something else.
