How Grâce says hello

holds up a cardboard skyscraper with bottle-cap windows Mbote! Don’t laugh, this is the Kinshasa of the future. But first, a mystery: a whole painted sign disappeared from the junction, and the only witness is the traffic robot. Do we interview the robot, or build a model of the junction and work it out?

Setting

A sign-painting studio in Kinshasa, full of paint pots, half-finished shop signs, rumba on the radio and Grâce’s cardboard city on a table.
