Adam Names the Animals

Every culture in the world holds their own creation story. Where we came from, where we are going, and what defines good and evil. In Ethiopia, instead of Adam and Eve, it's Adam and Hewan. We reimagined the Genesis narrative, envisioning Africa as the birthplace of humanity.

Yatreda's latest project, "Adam and Hewan", encompasses 13 video loop artworks. This project draws inspiration from the age-old tale of Adam and Hewan, reimagined through the modern and innovative perspective of the collective. This collection seamlessly follows the collective's previous successful series such as "Strong Hair", "Movement of the Ancestors", and "Kingdoms of Ethiopia".
