Description

A videoart work on the pre-colonial knowledge systems of Kemet (Ancient Egypt), approached not as a precursor to science and technology but as a complete system in its own right. Moving through symbolic environments drawn from the Kemet calendar, the piece reclaims ancestral memory as a living instrument of cultural education and spiritual insight, returning historical truths that Western narratives have largely set aside.
