With vibrant colours and an extraordinary visual language, the artist Aïda Muluneh focuses on the unequal distribution of existential resources such as water, food and education, the abuse of power and human rights and the empowerment of women. Under the title AÏDA MULUNEH. ON THE EDGE OF PAST FUTURE, the Fotografie Forum Frankfurt is showing seven series of works by the Ethiopian photo artist from the past ten years. Aïda Muluneh (*1974 in Addis Ababa/Ethiopia) is an advocate and leading voice of the African photography community and its global representation. After her family fled the civil war in Ethiopia, Muluneh grew up in Yemen, England and Canada and graduated in 2000 with a degree in communications with a focus on film in the USA. AïDA MULUNEH. ON THE EDGE OF PAST FUTURE is the artist's most extensive solo show in Europe so far. It was curated by Celina Lunsford, artistic director, and Andrea Horvay, co-curator of the FFF. The exhibition opens the 40th anniversary year of the FFF at the Fotografie Forum Frankfurt.

Exhibition: Wednesday, 31 January
