The School of Mutants

<p>In the wake of Senegal’s independence in 1960 a flurry of radical educational projects sprung up combining postcolonial and pan-African thinking to construct a new future for the continent. ‘The School of Mutants’ picks up on the complex history of these utopian projects, taking its name from Université des Mutants, the institution set up in 1979 by the poet, cultural theorist and first president of Senegal, Léopold Sédar Senghor. This afrofuturist archive blurs history and science fiction to construct a post-growth African future.</p>
