Alenta | Alenta – Exhibition

Alenta | አለኝታ – Exhibition

Alenta is an Amharic word describing that which one can lean on and rely upon, and the person who is there with and for me.

Drawing on this concept, the exhibition turns its gaze toward the sources of support upon which Israelis of Ethiopian origin rely: family, community, values, culture, history, and tradition—and the meanings they take on in everyday life.

The exhibition is based on research by psychologist Tali Semani and connects a scholarly perspective with encounters with contemporary works of art.
