In episode 3 of never before heard conversations from my archive, I speak with gallerist and co-founder of Addis Fine Art Rakeb Sile.
Addis Fine Art specialises in modern and contemporary art from the Horn of Africa and its diasporas. Along with co-founder Mesai Haileleul, Rakeb started the gallery to connect Ethiopian artists to the world and to spotlight underrepresented talent from the area.
We talk about finding your way. About how there are so few African gallerists who are from the same place as the artists they represent. As Rakeb says, ‘we have to do the work to dismantle that’.
