Through the embodiment of remembrance and prayer rituals (Tanmirt ⵜⴰⵏⵎⵉⵔⵜ), I resurrect and reimagine forms of collective liberation in writing, film and oral stories as an extension of my lifelong counter-archiving practice (Abrid ⴰⴱⵔⵉⴷ).
Coming from a lineage of herbalists, healers and freedom fighters who have preserved these ways - despite purposeful erasure - I celebrate this voice of resistance (Tiwizi ⵜⵉⵡⵉⵣⵉ) which has kept generations of people and stories alive. I seek to continue this legacy, burning the candle bright in times of deep division.
I explore these themes through Dreaming an Archive | Nahalmo b archeev - an ongoing research project challenging and reimagining what an archive can be by centering embodied memories, ritual, and sound. You can connect with this through my free monthly newsletter and online drop-in sessions.
