Dawud's Noah's Ark is a video-essay centered around the notion of the flood myth (myths in which a great flood, usually sent by a deity or deities, destroys civilization, often in an act of divine retribution). Multiple civilisations scattered around the globe all possessed versions of this ancient narrative. A great deluge to wash away greater sins and start all over. Hardship, renewal, vengeance: scriptural texts and civilisational lore featured extreme weather as lead characters. Through a flood of TikToks, eco-protest images, Gilgamesh and Earth's autofiction, Dawud invokes deep time tales of Noah’s Ark in new light. The work reappropriates parables beyond being merely vehicles of narratives, situating them as a mirror from which we can reflect upon our understanding the world and of ourselves.
