Visual Literacy and Photography Series at AAU

As an out­growth of the pre­vi­ous work­shops I ran at Addis Ababa Uni­ver­sity, I’m offer­ing a four part visual lit­er­acy and pho­tog­ra­phy series through the University’s Eng­lish Lan­guage Improve­ment Cen­ter. Yesterday’s talk was a lot of fun. Stu­dent and pro­fes­sors from sev­eral depart­ments attended. We viewed an ana­lyzed work by pho­tog­ra­phers from Richard Avadon to Lolo Veloko to Lise Sar­fati, not to men­tion Sey­dou Keita, whose pho­to­graph is used on the flyer. Quite a num­ber of stu­dents have expressed inter­est in next week’s topic. If you’re in Addis Ababa, do stop by.
