I am a curator of visual and performing arts exhibitions. My research interest lies in art coming from 3 east african countries – Ethiopia – Kenya – Uganda and documenting the lesser known ties among these localities in order to establish a robust network that grows into an interconnected arts ecosystem. Using this ground as a space to find the east African gaze that centers its archives as well as contemporary and emerging practices of art making – contributing to the plurality of existing narratives concerning exhibition making and curatorial praxis in the region. I’m co-founder of Contemporary Nights, a curatorial collective based in Addis Ababa.
