Keti Koti – Kadena Kibra: Representation, Ownership and Embodiment in Practice

We explore Eindje 0 Filters approach, which combines media, art, culture, and activism. We also examine how this approach was applied in the ‘Keti Koti – Kadena Kibra 2023 project.’ In close collaboration with the June 30 – July 1 Committee Foundation and drawing from the experiences and insights of community members, we zoomed in on the sensitive history and its impact in the present. We sought to translate healing and recovery into art, viewing art as a way to share untold history. Aminata Cairo’s ‘Holding Space’ methodology was crucial in this process. It allowed us to remain present with one another, transcending intergenerational trauma dynamics.
