Tsedaye Makonnen's installation, "Sanctuary: Mekdes," features illuminated towers influenced by Ethiopian architecture, highlighting the complex relationship between art, history, and social justice.
"Senait & Nahom: The Peacemaker & the Comforter" honors 46 Black lives lost to violence, using memorialization as a powerful tool to spotlight systemic issues affecting marginalized communities.
The interconnected motifs of Makonnen’s sculptures and the cultural context provided by historic Ethiopian crosses reveal a deep reverence for cultural heritage and communal memory.
Through the combination of striking aesthetics and profound themes, Makonnen’s work challenges viewers to reflect on history, identity, and the fragility of life.
