“What does the ocean allow you to think or do that other concepts do not?”
In this piece, Buyco suggests the ocean can be generative in imagining relationalities that exceed the limitations of area and the settler state. Buyco considers how his trajectories across the Pacific have been shaped by the continuties of war, settler colonialism, and US militarization. To this end, he provides a genealogical disclosure (Phung 2019), to make legible the processes of Indigenous dispossession of which he is a part, as an act towards a decolonial and transpacific practice.
