Dawit L. Petros

A meditation on the lingering effects of European colonial brutality in East Africa

Accompanying an exhibition by artist Dawit L. Petros (born 1972), this publication highlights the Italian presence in Ethiopia and Eritrea between the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Spanning several mediums, Spazio Disponibile reveals the links between a suppressed colonial past and the contemporary resurgence of nationalism.
