Over the last year, Paul Maheke Ngamaha has been investigating ideas of decoloniality and emancipation through a poetic yet political inquiry about the environments we inhabit and our subjectivities. At the intersection of feminisms and critical geography, his ongoing project Tropicalité is looking at the body as an archive to be reinvented and a territory to be decolonised. While at Open School East, he often convened dance as a practice of resistance to question sex politics, identity policing, Black body representations and their relationship to exoticism or notions such as agency and empowerment. For example, he collaborated with associates Marie Toseland and John Lawrence to devise a series of feminist events to happen at OSE about Hip-Hop cultures, Black feminism and Queerness. He also produced a set of works that scrutinised exoticised imaginations and colonial sexual desire.
