This loop-pile illustration is a tufted translation of a child\u2019s witness drawing from the reported 1994 mass UFO encounter at Ariel School in Ruwa, Zimbabwe. Sixty-two schoolchildren reported seeing unfamiliar craft and beings near their playground during recess, when all of the adults were in a staff meeting. Some kids described receiving telepathic warnings about environmental destruction and humanity\u2019s relationship with technology. According to one girl, the message put into her head by one of the beings was that \u201cwe mustn\u2019t get too technology\u2019d.\u201d<\/p>\n
A solitary being stands among msasa trees, its unfamiliar presence rendered in soft, familiar fibers. Recasting the child\u2019s drawn account as a tactile object gives an elusive encounter a physical presence, inviting curiosity about how experiences become lore.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nora Croft<\/a>","protected":false},"author":3264,"featured_media":409381,"template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"o","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":""},"product_cat":[180],"product_tag":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/galeriaazur.art\/esp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/409376"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/galeriaazur.art\/esp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/galeriaazur.art\/esp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/galeriaazur.art\/esp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3264"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/galeriaazur.art\/esp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/409381"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/galeriaazur.art\/esp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=409376"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/galeriaazur.art\/esp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=409376"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/galeriaazur.art\/esp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=409376"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
