2026: Miriam Hillawi Abraham
Miriam Hillawi Abraham is a multi-disciplinary designer from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. With a background in Architecture, her work deals with experimental preservation and the continuation of both material heritage and immaterial knowledge from the African continent. Her methodology places Abraham in the role of a weaver, interlacing threads that connect scattered worlds with one another. Following her fellowship as a Mellon researcher for the Canadian Centre for Architecture’s Digital Now multidisciplinary project and an artist in residence at the Jan Van Eyck and Onassis AiR, Abraham has co-curated an exhibition titled ‘Red Wind, Coral Worlds’ with Dr Huda Tayoub at Hayy Jameel (opening May 2026). Abraham’s work has been featured in the 18th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia as well the 2nd Sharjah Architecture Triennial and the 14th Shanghai Biennale, “Cosmos Cinema.”
