Mokia’s work is predominantly informed by the struggles of his people against poverty and displacement and their root causes as well as the interrelations of struggle across the African and Arab world. He relies heavily on the literary and artistic legacies left behind by people who have waged war against colonialism for decades and works to find ways to permit their work to grow as it must. His particular focus is on the struggle to seize narrative power from the self-proclaimed humanitarians of the continuously colonising world.
