The women of the Hamar (predominantly in Ethiopia 🇪🇹) are sometimes recognized by the copper/red pigment that coats their hair. The mixture is made of a clay called red ochre, butter and at times, ash. It is then applied to twisted or braided hair, making cylindrical strands called "goscha." The hairstyle symbolizes beauty, social status, and in some cases, a readiness for marriage.

From Lower to Upper Manhattan, Ezra Wube’s stop motion animations explore the evolution of New York City’s neighborhoods and their inhabitants.

In Wube’s digital art installation "Fulton Flow, which was on view at Fulton Center in Spring-Fall 2019, he considered both the original development of lower Manhattan’s subway  and present-day Fulton Center, connecting its historical past to contemporary everyday life, in the color palette of the New York City Transit subway lines. In Wube’s mixed media installation “Project Junction” at the newly reopened The Africa Center, he explores food as an expression of collective identity by visiting African restaurants within walking distance of the Center and researching their menus, and making line drawings to trace the ingredients’ history. Objects displayed  recreate those found on the walls of the local restaurants, and reference how African cultures and communities in America connect with the past.
