- Neighborhood: Fairmount
- Discipline: Media Arts, Visual Arts
- Social Change / Intent: Cultural Preservation
Sosena is a social documentary filmmaker, photographer, and visual artist whose art for social change work focuses on visually documenting personal narratives of underrepresented communities that are facing some aspect of change. As an Ethiopian-American who comes from a family of storytellers, she seeks to capture a moment in time before it disappears. By doing so, she hopes that these experiences can live on so that other generations may engage and learn from them. Sosena documents marginalized communities and subcultures and engages audiences through discussions of her work. She also conducts a travelling interactive installation experience that allows people to engage with multimedia art and each other. Sosena’s goal is to culturally preserve and share unheard voices, offering her viewers, as well as herself, a deeper intimacy and understanding of others.
