PATCHING-UP PROJECT AND “ON MOVEMENT” EXHIBITION - 2019 (ETHIOPIA)

PATCHING-UP is a multi-cultural, transnational project that investigates how the identity and

the dignity of the African immigrant can be revealed through art, despite the destruction and transformation of their daily lives and livelihoods. Patching Up refers to a series of

documentary projects addressing movement and migration that involves interactive

cross-cultural events and alternative presentations.

The Patching-UP collaborative project in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia will include field-research,

workshops, dialog-meetings and an exhibition. Events will be curated by Mekdes Shebeta, Hulu

Studios and Agegnehu Adane, Director of Addis Ababa University, Ale School of Fine Art and Design.
