The goal is simple: to help societies move from unconscious repetition of the past toward conscious transformation of the symbolic worlds we inhabit.

This research sits at the intersection of heritage studies, decolonial theory, African Indigenous Knowledge Systems, and public space scholarship.

Decolonisation does not always require removing symbols. Sometimes it requires reading them differently — exposing the histories embedded in them and opening space for dialogue and repair.

Through this work I introduce two key ideas: • Symbolic harassment — when repeated civic symbols normalise domination or erase other histories. • Symbolic justice — when communities reinterpret those symbols to reveal truth and restore memory.

To study this, I developed the EtuPath Six Sense Continuum of Collective Self — a framework that examines how people perceive, absorb, interpret, and transform symbolic environments.

My research argues that many of these symbols are not neutral. They are part of what I call symbolic infrastructures of empire — visual systems that normalise power long after empire formally ended.

Cities are full of symbols — statues, crests, monuments, emblems, architectural motifs. We often pass them without noticing, yet they quietly structure how history is remembered and who is recognised.

My research explores how public symbols shape memory, power, and belonging.
