Every generation is shaped by its cultural icons who reflect the era’s aspirations through their work. Today’s generation is a little different; not only do they aspire for greatness, but they also understand that art doesn’t flourish if artists can’t be discovered. Beza and Bandamlak just opened a cinema, mostly focusing on short indie films; Sehin and Abinet started Artawi (a gallery mostly focusing on photography); Nafkot (fuabilich) and Zion started Studio 11 (a gallery mostly focusing on paintings, but I’ve seen plenty of amazing photography shows).
We need to support artists, but most of all we need to support artists that create spaces for others to flourish. Years ago I had almost lost hope in Ethiopian cinema. In 2025 I regained all of it, and this weekend I can say that I’m fully confident (and you can mark my words) that the next two years will be the best years EVER for the art form. I will come back to this post in 2028.

This might be one of the most beautiful vlogs I've seen in Ethiopia. Tihitina captured the event from such a different angle and watching the vlog genuinely feels like being in there at the event.

I've been rewatching this over and over again. The quality of the video, the narration, the way she captured the whole feel and vibe of the event is just amazing! I love this!!
The exclusive part of this vlog is the backstage interviews Tihitina had with our guests and speakers. Definitely check it out.
I'm so glad you were there Tutu this's amazing!! You're awesome. Go watch, like and subscribe.💙

If someone here works at Ethiotelecom, please tell them to stop this BS. USSD Ads? How crappy it is to interrupt someone (on the phone they own) and take the entire screen to sell gambling slop. Stupid.
Now they call me with an ad. This is outrageous. WTH

Created this little (but fun) game. Has lan mode and server mode. We were playing it in the office, it's actually pretty entertaining. It's entirely vibecoded. Host a game (in the cloud or in your own lan) and play with friends and tell me about it. We'll add random mechanics but you can add features too :) Contributions are welcome, go through the readme

I'm so obsessed with this, what did they even use? Which Ethiopian frontend dev could replicate this? Spam them, I want to see how one would do it.
