The film follows a circular timeline, mirroring the daily rhythms of Dire Dawa. The project expands beyond film into a textile installation, an abstract tent that houses the story and translates visual memory into physical form. It becomes a capsule of place, a piece of Dire Dawa that can move across geographies while still carrying its weight, its rhythm, its story.
Dire is a place where trade, migration, and memory blur the lines between cultural nuances, where identity is not fixed but continually shaped and reframed through collective experience.
