Through research into traditions such as the Sereer, Dogon, Kel Ferwan, Z\u0101r, and Abyssinia, Miriam Hillawi Abraham traces how African worldviews encode relationships between land, sky, memory, and technology\u2013challenging colonial borders and Western systems of classification.<\/p>\r\nThe exhibition works through \u00bbscalarity\u00aband \u00bbinterscalarity\u00ab, using distortion, layering, and scale shifts to reveal connections between the smallest and largest forms of existence, as seen in Dogon cosmology. Lenses, maps, and cosmograms become tools for alternative ways of seeing and knowing, grounded in situated, embodied knowledge. Drawing on concepts like cosmotechnics, the work reframes cosmology as a technology of world-building\u2013opening space for plural, decolonial, and speculative ways of imagining planetary futures."},{"acf_fc_layout":"content_img","_acfe_flexible_layout_title":null,"bgcolor":"","bgcolor_custom":"","layout_col_size":6,"img_gallery":false,"img":[45732],"img_gallery_format":false},{"acf_fc_layout":"content_txt","_acfe_flexible_layout_title":null,"bgcolor":"","bgcolor_custom":"","layout_col_size":8,"txt_cols":"is-1-txtcol","txt":"Miriam Hillawi Abraham is a multidisciplinary designer based in Addis Ababa\/Ethiopia.
