Zohra Opoku: The Myth of Eternal Life

Zohra Opoku speaks about her Sharjah Biennial 15 work ‘The Myth of Eternal Life’ (2020–2022), which examines healing customs, funerary culture and the afterlife.

 

Based on ‘An Ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead: The Papyrus of Sobekmos’, the installation unfolds in four chapters and reflects on four mythic themes and excerpts from the papyrus.
