Hoetep Blessings surveys htp’s meanings and symbolic in diverse fields from Egyptology, computing science and neurophysics amid internet slang. Rezaire generates a new mythology by adding an ‘e’ to the conventional spelling of htp – from hotep to hoetep – and thus instills the spiritual power of the ‘hoe’ within the peace of hoetep.By rescuing the energy of the erotic as a spiritual weapon Hoetep Blessing is an odd to Black spiritual femmeness.

Biography :

Tabita Rezaire is infinity incarnated into an agent of healing, who uses art as a mean to unfold the soul. Her cross-dimensional practices envision network sciences – organic, electronic and spiritual – as healing technologies to serve the shift towards heart consciousness. Navigating digital, corporeal and ancestral memory as sites of struggles, she digs into scientific imaginaries to tackle the pervasive matrix of coloniality and the protocols of energetic misalignments that affect the songs of our body-mind-spirits. Inspired by quantum and cosmic mechanics, Tabita’s work is rooted in time-spaces where technology and spirituality intersect as fertile ground to nourish visions of connection and emancipation.
