Jopolo is an interactive graphic novel that re-imagines ancient African stories about star travel, about people who came from the sky and about those who went up there. It is a non-linear story presented in a series of images and texts, which have links that enable a reader to jump from any point of one story to any point in another story. The root story is of a man whose wife dies, and in grief he sets off for the stars to search for her, but all stories present an image of ancient Africa as one steeped in science and technology. Jopolo borrows from a traditional view point of science, which is inseparable from animist philosophies and so the technologies that humans create to better their lives are those that do not harm the environment or lead to extinction of other life forms.
