"Mothersound is the very first anthology of stories based on the fictional Sauúti story-verse made from a blend of African indigenous knowledges. The project, in its earlier iteration, is a collaboration between Nigerian sci-fi writer Wole Talabi, Haitian-American sci-fi writer Fabrice Guerrier, and Brittle Paper. The name Sauúti is taken from the Swahili word for “voice”. In the anthology, Sauúti is a five-planet system orbiting a binary star, rooted in African mythologies, languages, and cultures. Featuring artificial intelligence, space flight, humanoid and non-humanoid creatures, this sci-fi world weaves the futuristic with African systems of sound, oral traditions, and music."
