Womena, Rythma Ekanayake, Life of Loofah by Noor Taan, Kilma, Amira Salah-Ahmed, and Solenne Tadros
Utilizing natural materials and innovative technology Womena explores female empowerment.
Curated by creative producer and writer Rythma Ekanayake, the exhibition is divided into three segments and celebrates women’s empowerment through design, creativity, and the pursuit of freedom. It serves as a reminder of the freedom that comes with self-expression, design, and community.
Who are we when no one is looking? What do our dreams look like? Why do we continue to create in the face of all this grief?
Several distinctive elements and innovative techniques enhance the immersive experience. In a collaboration between Life of Loofah and Kilma, three projectors will cast content onto loofahs, turning them into textured canvases for audiovisual storytelling. This unconventional use of loofahs allows the visuals to interact with their organic structure, creating dynamic and layered projections that complement the theme of self-expression and freedom.
The "Pre-Exodus" VR section by Solenne Tadros provides visitors with a deeper, multi-sensory exploration of these themes, blending virtual reality with projected visuals for a fully interactive experience.
Additionally, an interactive poetry segment further invites visitors to engage by interpreting a poem by Amira Salah-Ahmed.
