Acrylic on alcoboard, 4m x 5m

Because East Africa is indeed a culturally diverse region, Sisay celebrates both similarities and differences in his mural. Born in Ethiopia, Sisay also shows cultural elements from Sudan, Eritrea, Somalia, and Kenya.

“Generally, they share common things: the mystical and mythologies, beauty and harmony,” says Sisay.
