Threads of Connection: Contemporary Art from the Horn of Africa and Diaspora

Addis Fine Art is a leading African contemporary art gallery with locations in London and Addis Ababa. The gallery was founded in 2016 by Rakeb Sile and Mesai Haileleul, with a focus on artists from Ethiopia, the Horn of Africa, and its diasporas. Since then, it has championed African artists on the international stage and established itself as a significant voice in the contemporary African art market. It has developed an international program showcasing emerging and mid-career artists through its London gallery space, one of the city’s few Black and African-owned art galleries. The gallery’s Addis Ababa location has evolved into a regional incubator for undiscovered talent, exhibiting and developing the careers of emerging artists.
