Wuh.ey – “Mwanga wa Urithi”

Beneath the red glow of the night sits an old woman, adorned with heavy shell necklaces, her eyes white and empty as if in a state between trance and memory. Beside her sits a child, gazing into the same darkness that illuminates her. Wuh.ey lets the artificial intelligence dream, hallucinate, and remember—transforming cultural fragments into visions somewhere between ritual and street. The shells become digital signs of the ancestors, the neon light the spiritual fire of the present. Here, past and future, body and symbol, human and machine merge. "Mwanga wa Urithi" is a silent, luminous parable about heritage, consciousness, and the invisible knowledge transmitted from generation to generation—beyond language, time, and technology.
