“Addis Ababa Biographical Map”

video and map presentation by Anna Positano

Right Here. Addis Abeba ‘Biographical’ Map

A project by Anna Positano


Wednesday 29th May 2013


IstitutoItaliano di Cultura – Addis Abeba


­


Right Here. Addis Abeba ‘Biographical’ Map is a collaborative project by Italian artist Anna Positano that relates places and memories. This work aspires to build a different perception of places by mixing biography and geography:Five citizens of Addis Ababa were asked to sketch their paths around the city according to some of their experiences and daily lives. As a result, Positano realized a map of Addis Ababa that collects their routes and words. Alongside the map, she shot five videos of the citizens talking about chosen places and routes.


 


During the presentation at the Italian Cultural Institute Positano will introduce a brief trailer of the videos and distribute the maps to the participants.


 


This work has been supported by the project DE.MO./Movin’Up II sess. 2012 (by the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities and GAI – Associazione per ilCircuitodeiGiovaniArtistiItaliani) and the Italian Cultural Insitute – Addis Ababa.
