When Rain Falls on the Mountain of Punt

Contemporary understandings of the Red Sea region are fixed to territorial affinities that are entangled in colonial logics. Drawing on the recent discovery linking Egypt to Eritrea through ancient mummified baboons, Black Athena Collective (Dawit L. Petros and Heba Amin) will investigate contemporary geographies using an alternative conceptual framework. Archaeological and forensic approaches to mobility with an array of visual forms will converge into an expanded performance of history.
