The Sio Roho Yangu Exhibit is an art installation that includes both a physical piece and a short film. Together they form an immersive experience.
The film takes place in 1807 and shows a young slave condemned to a sweltering hot box for her defiance, facing torment and uncertainty. Trapped in the oppressive heat, she struggles to survive, oscillating between fleeting hope and crushing despair. She draws strength from distant memories and spirituals. As her spirit is tested, the journey transforms from a desperate victim into a determined fighter, in a powerful testament to resilience and the unbreakable human will.
The physical art installation consists of the actual box used in the film. This paired with an immersive experience consisting of light, sights and sound takes the spectator back to a time place and allows for introspection on the part of the viewer.
