2013 Art and Change Grant – $2,500

Sosena will create Project MERKATO, a multi-media installation, comprised of audio and visual platforms that include still photographs, physical objects, recorded sound and film. The project is based on social documentary work that explores the personal testimonies of people who live, work and dream in the largest open-air market in Africa—in Ethiopia.  The work is intended to preserve and document a cultural experience that is rapidly transforming.   Project MERKATO will be a traveling exhibit bringing a cross-cultural experience that highlights the important themes of cultural preservation and storytelling.
