Andromeda of Aethiopia

The legend of Andromeda, deeply rooted in Greek mythology, has been revived and reimagined by African artists led by the Yatreda family in collaboration with Kevo Abbra and Sylvia Owalla. This modern retelling blends ancient myth with African artistry, capturing the essence of Andromeda’s tale through meticulously handcrafted costumes and sets, all shot on location in Lamu, Kenya.
