Afework's villa and art gallaries. It is found near the office of African Union in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. African's Union commissioner and the then mayor of Addis Ababa visited the gallery for the time before four years. Now it is open for the people. the reason why he closed his villa and gallery for visit is that he said politicians and journalists could't give him good respection. Now, he decided to surender his gallery for public use since he is old enough. His gallery is the first and huge in ethiopia.

  1. Awesome and highly informative blog Getu!

    Great blog, thus far!

    From here on, I would suggest a focus. Choose an arts-based: topic, artist, work, style, historical context, technique, discipline - anything - and use this as an on-going research tool; that will or could feed into your up-coming essay...

    ...Use this time - the mid-term - to tighten-up your blog. To critically explore a field of interest pertinent to you. Schedule a tutorial with me, if you would like help, feedback or direction.
