, we look at the power of a single photograph, chronicling stories about how both modern and historical images have been made.
Now, the Ethiopian artist's images have taken over hundreds of bus shelters in New York, Chicago, Boston and her current home of Abidjan, Ivory Coast, through the exhibition"Aïda Muluneh: This is where I am," commissioned by Public Art Fund, a New York City-based nonprofit. Muluneh won't be drawn on exactly what dialogue needs to be had, but in recent years Ethiopia has seen political instability, and armed conflict in the country's Tigray region.
She has produced a series around water scarcity for the nonprofit WaterAid, photographed in the inhospitable salt flats of Dallol, Ethiopia, as well as work for Norway's Nobel Peace Center, exploring how hunger is weaponized during war."This is where I am" by the Ethiopian poet and novelist Tsegaye Gabre-Medhin, written in 1974
