About the Author
Heba Y. Amin is an Egyptian visual artist, researcher, and lecturer based in Berlin. She has had recent exhibitions at the 10th Berlin Biennale, 15th Istanbul Biennale, and Künstlerhaus Bethanien Berlin.

Heba Y. Amin's The General's Stork explores historical accounts of biblical prophecies, colonial narratives, and the politics of technological warfare from a bird's eye view. Focusing on how military technologies were developed in the specific context of Middle Eastern geographies, Amin explores the extensive research that went into the development of a multidimensional and ongoing work. She also gives further background as to how, in 2013, the Egyptian authorities sought to detain a migratory stork that it accused of being an international spy.
