Description
Solving Diversity, like most of the collaborations between decolonial researcher Afulodidim Nikefolosi and intermedia artist Brice Catherin, attempts to move major contemporary issues such as decolonisation, feminism, artificial intelligence, climate collapse and transhumanism into the realms of fiction and humour. Like Chinua Achebe before them, they believe that fiction and humour are essential tools for spreading ideas and a certain (counter-)morality, by touching people's hearts more intimately. Humour also allows us to laugh with desperate joy at the atrocious world that globalised commercial society imposes on us more aggressively every day, and to break taboos, as has always been the task of the King's fools.
