Luise Amtsberg, Human Rights Comissioner

Luise Amtsberg, Federal Government Commissioner for Human Rights Policy, and Humanitarian Assistance at the Federal Foreign Office of Germany visited the Goethe-Institut Äthiopien during her official visit to Ethiopia between 11 and 14 April 2023.

Following her meetings with local governmental and non-governmental stakeholders involved in humanitarian affairs, the Goethe-Institut Äthiopien hosted an evening reception for Luise Amtsberg on Tuesday, 11 April 2022 attended by artists, creative enterprises, and civil society. During the overall programme, various artists from Ethiopia presented their projects, motivations, and ideas along with the relevant social issues they attempt to address with their works. The seven participating photographers on the Goethe-Institut’s "Water in Ethiopia" project, a project Lusie Amtsberg was familiar with, also showcased their works from 2022 and offered a peek into the photo stories they had just developed in Bahir Dar for an exhibition later this year.
