CREATING KINGDOMS OF ETHIOPIA
Yatreda, a family of artists from Ethiopia, creates works in the ethos of tizita—a sense of nostalgia and longing for the past. This video marked their introduction to the global stage, serving as the launchpad for their debut NFT project, Kingdoms of Ethiopia. Through this project, Yatreda bridges the ancient and the modern, inviting audiences to explore Ethiopia's rich history and cultural heritage in a contemporary digital medium.
