Ethiopian painter Mulu Legesse will open a solo exhibition at the Alliance Ethio-Fran\u00e7aise gallery in Piassa. The show is titled \u201cI Carry \u2013 Je Porte.\u201d The Addis Today<\/a> listing gives the Amharic title as \u12a5\u1238\u12a8\u121b\u1208\u1201.<\/p>\n

Addis Today<\/a> lists the opening for Thursday, October 8, 2026, at 6:00 p.m., or 12 in the evening in Ethiopian time, on Meskerem 28, 2019. The paintings remain on view through October 31, Tikimt 21, 2019. Hours are Monday to Saturday, from noon to 6:00 p.m., and admission is free.<\/p>\n

Addis Today<\/a> says the exhibition was organized with GERD Art Concept and curated by Gerd Steffes. The listing says the paintings explore identity, memory, and personal narrative.<\/p>\n

In late September, the Alliance Ethio-Fran\u00e7aise LinkedIn page<\/a> announced the show. The notice names Mulu Legesse, the same dates and hours, the gallery in Piassa, and Gerd Steffes as curator. It said further details would follow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
