Set in the salt flats of East Africa’s Afar region, Yi Da Y blends online found footage, including recontextualized B-reel clips from Beau Travail (1999) with narration from across the African diaspora. The work challenges historical erasures while employing traditonal modes from East Africa - tizita (music said to trigger ones memory) and ginnili (elder-led future forecasting) to envision new possibilities of belonging. https://www.olaniewunnet.com/drawing daily 0.75 2026-07-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a8cc6f5e58dc2d9acb0415/cc4bda4f-abee-467c-8670-148d3ec13022/Olani+Ewunnet%2C+Their+Eyes+Were+Watching+God%2C+2025.jpg Drawing Their eyes were watching God, 2025 coffee on paper https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a8cc6f5e58dc2d9acb0415/73c1e938-0e88-4f44-8b21-e22174004869/Olani+Ewunnet%2C+Land+Vocalization+1222.jpg Drawing Land Vocalization 1222, 2025 ink on paper https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a8cc6f5e58dc2d9acb0415/b65b2de9-f46e-4700-9ab8-b646d738ffe7/Olani+Ewunnet%2C+Land+Vocalization+001%2C+2022.jpg Drawing Land Vocalization 001, 2022 ink on paper https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a8cc6f5e58dc2d9acb0415/b400b102-e546-4cd0-a92d-57b1c5455ce8/Olani+Ewunnet%2C+Land+Vocalization+1110%2C+2024.jpg Drawing Land Vocalization 1110, 2024 ink on paper https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a8cc6f5e58dc2d9acb0415/3ed22596-d3c0-45cb-9a49-d56dda033a52/Olani+Ewunnet%2C+The+River+Reaches+the+Ocean+2024.jpg Drawing The river reaches the ocean, 2024 ink on paper https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a8cc6f5e58dc2d9acb0415/d59b5101-9b6f-4c77-9a51-c9799c6cc1b4/Olani+Ewunnet%2C+Adey+Roots%2C+2022.jpg Drawing Adey Roots, 2022 ink on paper https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a8cc6f5e58dc2d9acb0415/a3389778-e39d-420f-a6a2-3a2f0cad59f0/Olani+Ewunnet%2C+Southern+Epistemologies%2C+2024.jpeg Drawing Southern Epistemologies, 2024 ink on paper https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a8cc6f5e58dc2d9acb0415/c029eb7a-d6f6-4ba3-9bfc-1a805480c551/Olani+Ewunnet%2C+Score+for+the+Sun%2C+2024.jpg Drawing Score for the Sun, 2024 ink on paper https://www.olaniewunnet.com/sculpture daily 0.75 2026-07-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a8cc6f5e58dc2d9acb0415/1782957630747-MTY2CIO2BRZPWGR1FGY7/Seen%2Byou%2Bin%2Bthe%2Bmountain%252C%2Bfound%2Byou%2Bin%2Bthe%2Bsea%252C%2B2026%2B%25281%2529.png Sculpture Seen you in the mountain, found you in the sea (African wonderstone), 2026, Black pyrophyllite, coral, 12” x 3” x .5” https://www.olaniewunnet.com/home-oe daily 1.0 2026-07-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a8cc6f5e58dc2d9acb0415/1782958726664-D10WCK8AB615407YV254/Seen%2Byou%2Bin%2Bthe%2Bmountain%252C%2Bfound%2Byou%2Bin%2Bthe%2Bsea%252C%2B2026%2B%25281%2529.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a8cc6f5e58dc2d9acb0415/2e15acf4-a008-4c0d-8166-87043df4df96/Olani+Ewunnet%2C+Their+Eyes+Were+Watching+God%2C+2025.webp Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a8cc6f5e58dc2d9acb0415/1782959724702-XG1REQVMM29YRHTFQAU5/Olani%252BEwunnet%25252C%252BTemesgen_2024.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a8cc6f5e58dc2d9acb0415/d317f2ed-40b6-429f-9607-47203409784b/Olani+Ewunnet%2C+Land+Vocalization+1222.webp Home
