Toli Toli Trailer (2018)
Toli Toli uses the spacial metaphor of an old children song to convoke a political and intertwined narrative of the guadeloupean territory. In the poem-video, the "toli toli"(that means"chrysalid" in créole) shows directions toward an inner elsewhere, toward places and distances shaped by the presence of coloniality.Two hands seem to weave repeatedly with an invisible matter, understanding the technique of the bamboo weaving as the structure of language. Both the song and the bamboo weaving technique (used before to realized fish traps) have almost disappeared of the guadeloupean culture/knowledge.
