I am the Archive

Walk
Mixtape
Performative ritual of memory and presence. Pulling a luggage through the streets of Weimar, I become the producer, repository, and transmitter of my own history — carrying the weight of migrations, spiritual experience, and ancestral knowledge. The sounds that emerge from the luggage — fragments of conversations, chants, music, prayers, and personal recordings — weave a living archive where my body, voice, and journey meet.

Part of the transmedia series “Exercises to Not Lose Myself from My Sight”
Performed within the MFA program Public Art and New Artistic Strategies, Bauhaus-Universität Weimar
