‘Weight of the Unseen’: Ethiopia’s Tibeb Sirak brings depth to tradition
Promotional poster for ‘Weight of the Unseen’, a solo art exhibition running until October 27, 2025, at the Village Market Rooftop Gallery in Nairobi, Kenya.
The ‘Weight of the Unseen’ art exhibition at the Village Market Rooftop Gallery is the biggest billboard for African artists and Tibeb Sirak, a young Ethiopian artist, has left an indelible mark on the walls of the gallery with his first solo exhibition in Nairobi.
Born in Jijiga, and raised in the Somali region of Ethiopia, the Addis Ababa based-artist's work is nuanced on his understanding of the human experience.
