Rezaire’s work reveals how histories of slavery, colonialism and modernity have shaped science. 'Mamelles Ancestrales' stems from research on the stone circles of Senegambia, a series of megalithic and burial sites across Senegal and the Gambia that date back to between the 7th and 15th centuries. Rezaire presents a tissue of knowledges that includes astronomy, divination techniques, archeology and oral history. The stones emerge as ‘celestial technologies’, marking an alternative history of silenced forms of cosmological knowledge, paralleling the destiny of a myriad of satellites turned space junk. The installation creates a repeating rhythm of circular geometries - megalithic circles, satellite orbits cycles of life – posing questions about the systems of meaning and value that frame technological evolution.

On 25 October Tabita Rezaire presents a performance as part of the two-day program ‘Technology and difference’, presented in collaboration with Digital Earth.
