When you look at
Aida Muluneh's work, it's clear where her passion lies: Ethiopia. The photographer has been telling the story of Ethiopia long before it started trending this year. The country has undergone tremendous change in 2018, most of which stems from the election of its new 41-year-old Prime Minister, Abiy Ahmed, one of the most progressive leaders in the country's history. Muluneh's work has garnered international attention and her photographs have been displayed at MoMA, at Toronto's Aga Khan Museum and at the largest European photography festival in Baden, Austria. Muluneh was born in Ethiopia, a child of the diaspora. Her education brought her to the United States, where she graduated from Howard University, in Washington DC. [
