Welcome to Futureburg

SARAH NUTTALL and ACHILLE MBEMBE are the editors of a very different city guide. They write about cityness, about Africanness, future, and about an Afropolitan nation. They see a very different map, they tell you very different things. Things you never heard about Africa. Things you never heard about the US or Brazil either. Now they research the traces of the poor through the city. Through Johannesburg. Through the Elusive Metropolis. This is the title of their book. They are the It Couple of postcolonial thinking.

“The curious thing about Woodstock was that everyone who went there thought it was their own idea. They appeared there, and nobody knew that there were that many people coming.” – KEVIN KELLY 🍄

“I would never loosely use the word love, but I’m very happy saying it this way: we should allow love some space. Obviously, that’s what Woodstock was about.” – OLAFUR ELIASSON 🌻
