Negotiating Borderlands: Mohammed Kacimi and the Poetics of Relation
Abstract
This study examines how painter-poet Mohammed Kacimi (1942–2003) embraces an aesthetic of relation, focusing on his depictions of Sub-Saharan Africa and the interplay of poetry and painting in his work. It explores his representation of a multifaceted Africa, rich in metaphor and imagery, and how his artistic practice articulates connections between the Global South and North. Framed within postcolonial theory, the analysis highlights the convergence of poetic and visual expression in Kacimi's oeuvre, read through Édouard Glissant's notion of Relation. It argues that for both Kacimi and Glissant, border crossing is a foundational act that affirms cultural diversity, fosters dialogue, and advocates inclusive models of cultural negotiation.
