Step inside history.
 

Gibbi is a new virtual reality experience that transports viewers into an  American compound in 1937, where Ethiopian civilians sought refuge amidst devastating violence. From within a simulated VR shelter, you'll experience history through shattered windows. Please join a conversation with artist Ezra Wube and historian Dr. Angelo Caglioti, moderated by neuroscientist Dr. Mulugeta Abebe, for a conversation on memory, erasure and resistance.
