A Conversation on Photography in Ethiopia and Guyana Aida Muluneh and Grace Aneiza Ali Tuesday, April 28, 2015 6:30–8pm ICI Curatorial Hub 401 Broadway, Suite 1620 FREE and open to the public Via her work as a photographer, and founder/curator of the Addis Foto Fest, Addis Ababa’s first international photography festival, Aida Muluneh has been forging new platforms to explore the ways in which the image of Africa is projected, interpreted, negotiated, and marketed in the global world. Through various multi-media projects, Grace Aneiza Ali, a recent Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts Curatorial Fellow, explores how photographers in Guyana and its diaspora are countering the “picturing paradise” narrative the global public often sees of the Caribbean/South American region and the ways they are moving away from satisfying global appetites for the tropical and the exotic. Muluneh and Ali will present their work and engage in a conversation about photography in Ethiopia and Guyana. They will offer their thoughts on the connections and intersections on the contemporary photography coming out of these two regions and the ways in which both photography communities negotiate politics of representation. This event is free and open to the public. To attend, please RSVP to rsvp@curatorsintl.org with AIDA in the subject line.
