Process
Many Mouths Make A Monologue (MMMAM) explores the uncertainty of mixed heritage — tracing both my inner monologue and the comfort found in a shared, if uncertain, collective perspective: the polylogue.

Throughout the project, many liminal voices shaped and challenged my understanding. By sharing this collectively vulnerable journey, I hope others feel less alone in their own questions — and more at ease within the uncertainty.

The exhibit takes the form of a two-toned, two-part piece: a monologue of questions, paired with a collective appendix of responses — the polylogue. Each question is mapped by scale (based on the number of responses) and positioned along a horizontal spectrum: from Ethiopian (left) to English (right), reflecting which side of my heritage I identified with more throughout the 8-week process.

By the end, I landed almost exactly in the middle — still uncertain, but far more at peace with that uncertainty, and the comfort of not being alone in it.
