Since then, his maps have circulated between academic, art and activist contexts, among them several events organised by the Dekoloniale Memory Culture in the City project in Berlin. His most recent publications include "Édouard Glissant’s Politics of Relation – Mapping an Intellectual Movement of Marronage" (published in 2021), "Karten zur Kreolisierung der Welt and the Marvelous Arithmetics of Proximity and Distance oder Decolonial Reading Notes (Out of Berlin)" (2022) and "Sonne der Relation and More Postcards from a Postcolonial Museum oder Das Expressionismus Dossier" (2024).
