Join us at V&A East Storehouse for a participatory show-and-tell session with Zaiba Jabbar, exploring questions of digital futures, connection and participation.
As part of Zaiba’s Look What I Found residency at V&A East, she asks:
How do communication devices create relationships that are both together and apart, familiar and unfamiliar? And what might this reveal about who gets to participate in technological futures?
Look What I Found with HERVISIONS extends Zaiba’s ongoing research into rewilding through digital feminist practices. Drawing on digital communication devices from the V&A’s collection, she develops speculative documentation and digital sculptures that consider technology as something shaped through social relationships, use and care, rather than as a story of neutral or linear progress.
Zaiba Jabbar is a curator, educator and founder of HERVISIONS – a femme-focused curatorial agency working at the intersection of expanded moving image and digital media. Through HERVISIONS, Zaiba has championed artists working on the margins who use emerging technologies to reimagine storytelling, identity and representation. Her practice centres accessibility, care and experimentation, creating platforms for work that challenges dominant narratives within digital culture.
