The books that almost didn’t make it. 📦✈️
Shipping “Reframe Ethiopia” from Germany to Addis Ababa was supposed to be the easy part.
• Sent: Dec 4 (Germany)
• Arrived: Dec 13 (Addis)
• Customs Clearance: 22 long days.
• The Cost: 30,000 ETB in taxes.
It’s not always easy to bring international creative work back home. We missed our opening day deadline, and we faced hurdles we didn’t see coming. But art has a way of finding its way to the people.
To everyone who helped us push the process through and to our supporters who waited patiently—thank you. The books have arrived, the story is told, and the lesson is learned.
Note to fellow artists: When shipping to Ethiopia, “early” is never early enough!
I’m excited to share my recent interview with journalist Genet on Ethiopia’s national broadcaster EBC, Entertainment program about the Reframe Ethiopia exhibition and Artawi Gallery.
Watch the full show on EBC’s YouTube channel—link in bio.
Just started posting on X again after a long time. Engagement feels brand new… guess we’re rebuilding from scratch.

Proud to photograph the Ethiopia chapter of #TheAfricanDecorEdit Honored to be part of a book that celebrates African design, its makers, and its stories.
Thanks to @XnStudio and @boleroad_ for making it happen.
Grateful to see my work in such a beautifully crafted publication.
Excited to announce my first solo exhibition: “Reframe Ethiopia” 🇪🇹📸
After a decade of documenting the Ethiopia I know—peaceful, dignified, and beautiful,I’m finally sharing this vision. This exhibition invites you to unlearn old narratives and see Ethiopia through a fresh lens

Good luck @SehinTewabe very excited for you.
