In my last semester of art school! I’m (trying) to make a multi-channel moving image / film Interviewing and Learning from my elders about Ethiopia’s anti-colonial fight and the battle of Adwa 1896 filming our conversations and projecting onto gabi It’s harder than I thought to execute 😅 but im so grateful for this process and that I get to be hereee! Our conversations have gone towards the queens of Ethiopia - the printed photos are Queen of Sheba and Queen Taitu - they were soo influential and Taytu was in the war and the brains behind the military Also towards spiritualities of Ethiopia and indigenous creation stories, forever in search of an enby creator My vision is a room full of conversations happening at once And subtitles in both languages I’m learning how to do woodwork lol and lots of editing + projector stuff… it’s coming together and I’m hoping it turns out as cool as it is in my head! I want to have some more conversations with my aunties too, so far I have talked to my mama and my uncle Mike November 28 we have a grad show :) so y’all can come see the work at the end! Xoxoxo

My most recent pots + at the end one in use 😸😸 The technician told me to stop practicing with glazes on the actual work - after I’ve recycled clay and gone through all the stages of making - and I think she’s right hahaha Because it was less happy accidents this time But also I don’t want to take it too seriously yet + a lewk for a city photoshoot :3
