KHARTOUM TO ADDISA ABABA
Ala Kheir
Although Khartoum and addis are very different in terms of Nature, weather, language, and vibes, I find it very welcoming and similar to the feel I find in khartoum my home city.
The trip to addis was quick, the landscape changes rapidly transiting from the flat khartoum to the green hills of Addis and this of course changes how everything is done. Yet despite the distance I still feel the connection and the smooth transition between the two cities.
the images here record my encounters in both.
These works were made on the 2011 road trip from Khartoum to Addis Ababa. They were exhibited as part of the Invisible Borders space-installation, "A Trans-African Worldspace" at the 56th Venice Biennale of Arts.
