Indigo Decolonial Dreamwork: Africanfuturism and Imagination Beyond Development | Erin Mills Town Centre

Incorporates creative writing and analysis of contemporary African speculative fiction to center dreams as a tool for liberation.
In Decolonial Dreamwork, Jenna Hanchey centers dreaming, both waking and sleeping, to examine how Africanfuturism enables futures beyond the “reality” of what developmental imperatives deem possible. Engaging with the speculative fiction of Tade Thompson, Shingai Njeri Kagunda, Yvette Lisa Ndlovu, Tlotlo Tsamaase, Suyi Davies Okungbowa, Sofia Samatar, Moses Ose Utomi, and the Sauúti Collective, Hanchey demonstrates how these works provide a roadmap for decolonial dreaming—imagining beyond the conceptual limits Western paradigms impose. Connecting African and Indigenous thought, Decolonial Dreamwork shows how the labor of imagining beyond coloniality is nonlinear, embodied, emplaced, liquid, and reliant on multiplicities of stories.
As both a scholar and speculative fiction writer, Hanchey blends analysis with examples of her own creative work to demonstrate the importance of not only reading African speculative fiction but joining in and dreaming alongside it. Punctuated with exercises and prompts, Decolonial Dreamwork functions as a participatory workbook for liberation that will that will be as generative for classrooms and book clubs as it is for theory development. We can all tell stories, Hanchey exhorts readers, that break colonial realities and create space for better worlds.
