Description

Cover:
The cover of this graphic novel depicts a young Black woman with an Afro hairstyle swimming in the depths of the ocean along with a group of turtles.

First page:
An inner page shows images of ecologically devastated places on Earth, as seen from a computerised device. At the centre of the page, a geolocalization-device shows a text: “Interior Sea of the Momposina Depression and its surroundings”. A second inner page shows a Black person wearing a robe, speaking to a group of gender and racially diverse people. His words are: “My mother used to say that she did not invent bioconnectivity, but that she had discovered it”. “I say this because access to the perspective of the world of other living beings was something we had dreamed of for ever. Thanks to that evolutionary leap in knowledge, we could look at the world in a different light and, also, at ourselves with different eyes.” “We were able to develop the biomimesis of the 20th century and expand it, respecting the creative greatness of organisms without sacrificing them as objects of study”.
