divine time #4 — miriam hillawi abraham

A multidisciplinary designer from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Miriam Hillawi Abraham develops a practice that crosses research and experimental preservation. Trained in architecture, her work focuses on the continuity of Africa’s material heritage and immaterial knowledge, articulating narratives, territories and memories that are often dispersed. Taking on the role of a weaver, she builds connections between different cultural and historical contexts, revealing invisible relationships between people, objects and places. Her work has been included in the Venice Architecture Biennale, the Sharjah Architecture Triennial and the Shanghai Biennale.

divine time
Series of video-talks on sacred technology and alternative temporalities that explores how the languages of cinema and video games intersect with the spiritual, the mystical and the illuminated, tracing connections between techno-corporeal realism and the metaphysics of digital experience. This series is curated by Zaiba Jabbar, curator, researcher, award-winning filmmaker and founder of HERVISIONS, a curatorial agency, platform and digital art studio focused on women, producing innovative commissions, exhibitions and events with a strong emphasis on the intersection between art, technology and culture.
