In May and June 2017, ten local artist groups toured around Addis Abeba to present their work in public places of the city and engage visitors into artistic performances. The idea behind “Tibeb be Adebabay” has been that culture is not a luxury for those who can afford it, but a necessity for everyone. However, many people in Addis Abeba do not have access to the cultural centres, to good books and musical instruments. Therefore, the festival brought art and culture into people’s daily lives in order to inspire them to discover their own creativity. And so they did - at ten cultural Suks located from Sedist Kilo to Jemo, from Merkato to Bole.
The exhibition at the Goethe-Institut displays the art works created during Tibeb be Adebabay, showing works of architecture, film, gamification, literature as well as photography and painting.
Die offizielle Zeitung zu Tibeb be Adebabay – The Art Side of Addis gibt es hier als PDF zum Download.
