AIDA MULUNEH, SELECTED WORKS
“Ethiopian photographer, artist, and cultural entrepreneur, Aïda Muluneh’s works express what it is to be an African woman, to encapsulate gender and identity, and to situate it within the colonial experience. Looking to her background as a photojournalist, Muluneh uses this foundation of visual and symbolic language and blends it with the sentiments, intensity, and passion of poetry. Muluneh’s vibrant photographs express what it is to be an African woman, to encapsulate gender and identity, and to position it within the post-colonial experience. She interrogates the foreign gaze, and also raises the awareness of the impact of photography in shaping cultural perceptions.” - Jenkins Johnson Gallery
