Talks

I regularly speak on topics such as the early history of the Seychelles, Indian Ocean island networks, the Indian Ocean World, Indian Ocean Creole origins, Indian Ocean middle passages and ancestral voyages, traditional Creole music, cowrie shells, mermaids and water spirits in Indian Ocean (and Atlantic) mythologies, connections between Indian Ocean, South African and Caribbean Creoles and the histories and legacies of European slave-trading beyond the geographical Atlantic, slave ship wrecks, oceanic cultural imaginings from the Creole worlds, diasporic adaptions of Creole ways of knowing and being, the underwater Afro-future, and my own community and creative work.
