Everything returns from the water, whole and silver

Asmaa is interested in working with oral histories and multiple voices and has created a piece of fiction that explores new possibilities for the future and alternative narratives rather than revisiting the past. This piece, “Everything returns from the water, whole and silver,” explores the waters around East and North Africa, and the different sounds, narratives, myths, histories that overlap within it through the creation of a fictional character based on the sea, inventing a mythology and folklore around this figure. Based on this mercreature/ gabarmanyo, Jama has created an audiovisual piece, collaborating with Sami El-Anany and digital artist Miriam Abraham.
