OommoO depicts the true life events of 1st generation immigrant Lula Berhane as she navigates the duality of two cultures, her Habesha (Eritrean/Ethiopian) heritage and British identity. An acronym for One-of-many-many-of-One, OommoO looks at the effects of memory loss on a displaced community caused by different reasons. It asks what happens when you’ve left everything behind for the promise of something better, and the something ‘better’ isn’t ‘better’? When you have nothing but memories and memory is fading, what do you have?

Interweaving language+customs+music with wearable tech MiMu gloves, it’s a poetic reflection of an emotionally visceral experience unpacked through an Afro-Futuristic East African lens.
