This logo represents diffraction of light and refers to definition of creoleness by Edouard Glissant: “The world diffracted but recomposed“.  What is meant here by diffraction may refer to the disintegration of traditional way of life: the history of forced mass migration in times of imperial domination and sovetization. The Latin word diffringere means ‘to break into pieces’, which is normally describes optic phenomena, but here serves as metaphor of loss substantial unity of traditional society.  The resulting varicolored spectrum symbolises the birth of a new, creolised subjectivity. On the surface, the logo refers to light distribution in space. It illustrates rays’ behavior when they cross the border between two different environments. It refers to the Science of Light and following the winding path of Southern Enlightenment. The picture expresses the idea that every unity contains internal heterogeneity and everything that looks like a natural wholeness has in fact been composed this way and therefore can be recomposed anew.
