The word Mí in Cape Verdean Creole, Eu in Portuguese, and I in English all share the same meaning. The work constructs a cluster of problematic relationships from the interactions between these three different identities, which embody the cultural and emotional structures that constitute me. These relationships between Mí, Eu, and I reference my personal experiences of multilingualism and code-switching, as well as the history of Lusophone colonial and postcolonial power dynamics between Africans, the Portuguese, and Western hegemonic cultural and economic structures.
