However, this map is not meant to merely memorialize violence and the death of Tigrayans. This map is an attempt to at first provide a tactical record of lives lost within a social/political context and secondly, will evolve to hold memories (in the form of immersive media) to honor the importance of these sites to Tigrayan life. <br /><br /> This map is both an attempt of memory keeping and memory making. <br /> <br /><br /> https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/G2972121281801895001951398352722/000015470011.jpg As a student of the Otherwise School, I developed a map in an effort to materially record the damaged sites and sites of atrocities occurring in Tigray, Ethiopia.

In August 2021, I ventured to Sudan with Jerusaliem G. to interview Tigrayan refugees and conduct a needs assessment. We interviewed about 30 people. We heard stories from women in their 70s who fled to Sudan twice before, a young woman who developed an autoimmune disorder from the stress of her experience, and farmers who had no choice but to abandon their lands. https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/J3106063700591820061957465397074/37290161_10102569159905172_3594502527099338752_n.jpg For my undergraduate thesis, I developed a film regarding identity formation amongst youth in the Ethiopian diaspora. This film interviewed about a dozen youth, ages 17–26, in individual and group settings. We explored the anti-Black narratives akin to Ethiopian Exceptionalism, how our parents informed our Black identity, and what it meant to be an African so far from Africa. The film was screened at the Tigray Community Center and followed by an intergenerational discussion. For many in the community, it was their first time ever having these reflections and conversations, and we still discuss it years later. https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/Q3106201509834221296514083673938/3491439.fp.png https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/H3106210012104585565909809452882/the-funambulist-37-samples9-1200x800.jpg
