Exhibition | Nov. 14 - Mar 13| The Silos at Sawyer Yards Poetics of Relation: BLACK IN BERLIN

It began with a deceptively simple idea: to render Black life visible in Germany. Black in Berlin, a portrait project by Ethiopian-born, Berlin-based photographer Yero Adugna Eticha, celebrates its Texas premiere with this exhibition in Houston.

The ongoing large-scale project now encompasses 1,200 black-and-white portraits, text installations, and audio interviews. The exhibition offers US audiences a vibrant and nuanced counter-archive to the visual representation of the African diaspora in Germany and Europe.
