The artwork is intended to bring into daily circulation sentences extracted from the books of thinkers who have elaborated critical reflections on systemic capitalism, outlining new generative scenarios of reparation and redemption. These handwritten sentences are silk-screen printed, and therefore as multiples, on handkerchiefs. In Ghana, everyone uses these cotton tissues daily to wipe sweat, and they are sold along the streets hanging from umbrellas or metal structures such as the one designed as part of the artwork and made in collaboration with the KNUST Metal Section of the Industrial Art Department.

The series, destined to grow over time, includes sentences by Hannah Arendt, Rosi Braidotti, Gilles Deleuze, Frantz Fanon, Achille Mbembe, Kwame Nkrumah, Sékou Touré and Eduardo Viveiros de Castro.

In the cultural and economic circularity triggered by the work, handkerchiefs are bought, printed, and donated to the same street vendors who sell them as cultural agents at the exact cost as normal handkerchiefs, retaining the economic surplus value. The price policy emphasises that the value of the transformed item, the artwork, resides in the content printed on it rather than in its economic quotation, countering the artistic system of valuing artworks on a symbolic basis.

A special series has been made in 2026 dedicate to Rosi Braidotti’s “Posthuman Feminism”.

Those who buy the handkerchiefs are invited to suggest other sentences by African intellectuals, posting them on the ‘carousel_of_sentences’ page on Instagram.
