Edouard Glissant and Patrick Chamoiseau used Kay tout moune (pronounced KAI TOOT MOON) to describe a world without walls that embraces movement, difference, and change. We use it here as a speculative effect of looking at today's societies from a postmigrant perspective, one "that presents and highlights the voice of migration.” Postmigration is a conceptual intervention in current discourses on migration and will frame our activities for that week.
