Eye of a Water - ዐይነ-ውሃ will take form as an immersive exhibition. Paintings on hundreds of parchments will laminate the walls and installations, transforming the space into an imaginative riverbed and inviting the audience to experience a portion of a river where the water is missing.

The exhibition is the result of Temesgen’s project Practising Water: of rituals and engagements, which studies the chronicles of water, spirituality, and their symbiotic relationships as modes of communication and language. The project explores how water interacts with surrounding nature and humans, beyond its physical use and anthropogenic manifestations. By examining everyday accounts of habitats living off, by, or with water, Temesgen seeks to understand how indigeneity engages with water believed to animate spiritual significance.

The exhibition marks the culmination of Robel Temesgen's PhD project, Practising Water: of rituals and engagements at Oslo National Academy of the Arts.
