Addis Modern: Rediscovering the 1960s Architecture of Africa’s Capital City

From 11 May 2013 to 11 Jun 2013

This exhibition, entitled Addis Modern, documents modern architecture in Addis Ababa when the Ethiopian capital became the seat of the African Union. The exhibition focuses on series of buildings with contextual, structural, monumental, formal, minimal and sculptural approaches to architecture. The modern movement of architecture subsequently developed into various regionally differentiated streams, which are all visible in Addis Ababa.
