Step inside history.

Gibbi is a new virtual reality experience that transports viewers into the American compound in 1937, where Ethiopian civilians sought refuge as Italian forces turned their city to fire and ash. From within a simulated shelter, you’ll look out through shattered windows and see your neighbors’ world collapse — a haunting immersion in a story history tried to erase.

After the VR experience, join a powerful conversation with artist Ezra Wube and historian Dr. Angelo Caglioti, moderated by neuroscientist Dr. Mulugeta Abebe, as we uncover the politics of silence surrounding the massacre — and draw connections to today’s battles over truth, revisionism, and resistance.
