From Abyssinia to Addis Ababa: A Live Painting Demonstration with Amharic Characters
Solomon Asfaw

Solomon will give visitors the opportunity to explore an Ethiopic writing system, the alpha-syllabary, through a live painting presentation. He will create an original art-work, which will be inspired by Amharic characters. Through this presentation, visitors will also be encouraged to investigate the connection between Ge’ez, an ancient Ethiopic language, and Amharic, the dominant language of Ethiopia today.

Reservations requested by March 14.
