Wosene, who is Ethiopian born, nods to a multitudinous African experience of the Caribbean with this work (which is at the NCMA) and employs Ethiopian graphic systems, liturgical symbols, architectural forms, and Pan-African motifs. In drawing from such a rich vocabulary of written sources, Kosrof cleverly links past with present and Africa with diaspora, pushing the boundaries of visual literacy to new levels of hybridity.
