Pretty self-explanatory. I would love to share my culture with all you tumblrers out there! I'll be showcasing the old and the new, the traditional and unconventional. The diversity of Ethiopia and Ethiopians around the world. Submissions are more than welcome!

Dawit Abebe (Ethiopian, born 1978), X Privacy 33, 2016

Dawit Abebe’s new, poetic drawings from his X Privacy series depict figures looming dramatically over urban settings. In his surreal rendering of the body navigating its modern surroundings, Abebe reflects on the effect of technological development and surveillance on human interactions and traditional societal values.

Abebe graduated from the Addis Ababa University School of Fine Art and Design with a Diploma in Painting, Sculpture, Graphics, Photography and Industrial Design. Since 2001, he has been a member of the Habesha Art Studio in Addis Ababa.

Abebe’s solo presentations include Background 2, Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery, London, 2015 and X Privacy, Alliance Ethio-Francaise, Addis Ababa, 2012. Group shows include Pangaea: New Art from Africa and Latin America, Saatchi Gallery, London, 2015 and the touring exhibition Silver Sea Cross-Ship, 2013-2014, as well as the display of the Habesha Art Collection at the National Museum in Addis Ababa, 2014, along with exhibitions in France, the UAE and the USA.

Exploring Ethiopia with Photographer Eyerusalem Jiregna

This post is in celebration of Women’s History Month. Throughout March, we’ll be highlighting the stories of women doing extraordinary things around the world.

Born and raised in Ethiopia’s capital city, Addis Ababa, 23-year-old Eyerusalem Jiregna (@eyerusalem_a_jiregna) knows a thing or two about fast-paced environments. But she also hopes that her photographs might inspire people to pause and look — really look — at the visual wonders that could be waiting around any corner. “I know that people have busy lives,” Eyerusalem says, “but when we’re rushing everywhere, we’re not seeing what’s around us. I want people to appreciate what’s in front of them, and I hope that my pictures can help make that happen.”

While she finds photographing people rewarding, Eyerusalem does find herself photographing women and girls more often than men. “Motherhood in Ethiopia is so significant, and the women here work so hard,” she says. “I want to try to share their stories through my photographs.”
