This trilogy of films, spoken through diverse cinematic tongues, births the ReCoding Aesthetic—
a vision rooted in the re-remembering of what has been dismembered,
and in the proposal of new imaginaries.
Where the politics of extraction, long masked as normalcy, is unveiled for what it is!
Yet within this unveiling, a gift: ancestral ecology—offered as Africanfuturism,
a path of healing, a pulse toward multiple possibilities.

Katasumbi, a cinematic poem, moves within the breath of Ejo-Lobi—
where the future of the past meets the past of the future,
a spiral of imaginary projection and indigenous worldviews of possibility.

Mikuba grounds us in Kolwezi,
in the hands and eyes of artisanal miners,
inviting a gaze from within—
a call toward mining that regenerates rather than ravages.

Basandja awakens the forest’s own voice,
reminding us it breathes, speaks, remembers.
It draws us into deep listening—
an invitation to enter the sacred web of the living.
