Digital Data Transmission
Sep 2026
This piece of text records the moment of myself walking into two people having a private conversation. The conversation was taking place in Studio 1 of the Art Building, UoR and was between Birhanu Manaye Menter (MA Fine Art student) and his Mum. They were speaking in their native Amharic language.
