A HABESHA’S HABIT : UNPICKING ETHIOPIAN RITUALS
Identity | Culture & Heritage | Print | Publication | Bookbinding

OutcomeProcessWe were tasked with creating a 'family tree' to introduce an unfamiliar audience to an object without showing it directly. I chose injera — a sourdough pancake central to Ethiopian cuisine and culture.

In Ethiopia, our hands are integral — we eat, measure, gesture, and pray with them. This tactile relationship shaped the publication's design. I used found imagery, textured materials, and interactive elements to reflect the sensory ritual of eating injera from the smell of the coffee that must be had with it, to making of the sourdough. 

The poetry throughout desrcibes the making, tasting and sounds that can be hear throughout. Whilst, the cutouts in the publication were taken from shapes of holes in injera.
