To close Bwa Kayiman—Tout Moun se Moun, multidisciplinary artist Jean-Ulrick Désert generates an oral description of the stellar constellations during the precise moment of 14 August 1791 above the then island of Kiskeya (referred to as St. Domingue by the French). That night the Alligator Forest (Bwa Kayiman) hosted the first Pan-African congress in which people from the African nations, Indigenous people of the Caribbean, spirits, animals, insects, and plants strategized and gave rise to the revolution that birthed a self-emancipated Black republic. The stars above the nearby Red Mountain must have been visible then, providing them with the conviction to fight against the inhumanity of slavery and for a dignified future. Through the lens of astronomy and astrology, and with the use of twenty-first-century digital calculation systems, Desért reads the stress-points in this particular celestial realm and produces a text that interprets them. Was this destiny of events written in the stars across the sky? Desért investigates this divinatory reading using live voice recordings and bots. The artist follows a speculative Afro-futurist interest to go back in time, and using a quantic approach in which somewhere not far away in the deeper universe the events of that particular night are happening right now, he tries to 'view' from the distance of 2024 the activities of Earth 233 years ago.
