mahiishaaa - no borders mthg mix ii

this first episode features ethiopian contemporary visual artist & friend wendimagegn belete. it was a pleasure to talk about wende’s art which across mediums is concerned with cultural heritage and identity or an inquiry into what he refers to as his “epigenetic inheritance”. hope you in-joy 🔉✨ (this ep is mainly in amharic)

tizita radio ቁ.2 selome muleta // ትዝታ : ሬዲዮ - ሰሎሜ ሙሌታ::

featuring a very special collab episode with my hafte ruth gebreyesus' show @link_inbio 📡

this is a continuation of several conversations we've had over the years about home in relation to our shared hometown, home country and the values we've come to collect and grow towards in our life away from those homes.  this round, we explore our shared origins in ethiopia through the stories and creative production of femme singers and songwriters from that region. we are curious and suspicious about what happens to nationalism when women and femmes are centered. how does nationalism's kinship to patriarchy play out in these artists' lives and in our own? does nationalism survive when we center ourselves and our values? does it survive when we center the safety and agency of marginalized people?
