Lo Sai? is a double-channels video installation focused on an epistemological issue, based on the comparison between academic and cosmic cultures: are they a dichotomy or could be a pair?
The work analyses respectively the western cultural canon –positivist, individualistic, anthropocentric– and the cultural elaborations of other traditions –spiritual, emphatic, generous, intersubjective–, to testify the dense value and potentiality of these last, after a long period of imposing quiescence (references go to: Eduardo Viveiros De Castro, 2014; Emanuele Coccia, 2018; Manden Charter, 1236). The goal is to compare these two realms of knowledge, in regards to education, power, the relationship between human beings, as between them and nature. 
In these videos the “kente” fabric and stole, designed by myself selecting specific colours and patterns, are the protagonists as a code-language accompany the verbal (the thoughts of some philosophers, video 1, and African oral narrations, video 2), media (a diachronic long take and a syncretic plural view) and environmental one (a classroom and a mountain landscape). There is not an ethnic purpose: the Ashanti fabrics play these roles because their meanings and evolution cover punctually the themes and values at issue. Although it is not a work aimed to support a thesis –I am not looking to answers but opening questions– my interest is “to explore the possibilities offered by other forms of apprehension of the real” (Felwine Sarr, 2016).
