| Summary: | The pandemic disrupted a literacy project fully subjected to the discourse of community development, dominated by the English language. The disruption created an encounter with the potentiality of a different cartography—a new way of mapping literacies through reading the world and self, particularly as a colonised academic researcher engaged with decolonial theory. This article explores how concepts of the “I”—both as the individual and the modern subject—along with the notions of “voice” and “literacy,” shape and condition ways of knowing. It gestures towards a decolonial approach to literacy—framed as “becoming story”—involving processes of becoming-imperceptible, becoming-minor-language, and becoming-land. The work serves as an invitation to be companion and kin to a different telling of stories in qualitative research.
