The Photography Archival and Community Project 

The Photography Archival and Community Project took place in Ethiopian Institute of Architecture, Building and Construction (EiABC) in collaboration with the school mainly focusing on the idea of History, Architecture and Archive. The participants were introduced to different critical photography works produced mainly within the continent and were also able to dig through their own family photo albums in the context of architecture and archives. Additionally, they were also able to grasp important terms and develop critical understandings helping them to produce their own photographs by using the archives as a reference point. 

A total of 11 people participated with some of them being students of the architecture school and others photographers and enthusiasts. The photographs that were produced during the workshop period along with some of the archives were installed at three different locations in Addis Ababa namely EiABC compound, the National theatre building columns and Goethe Institute.  Educating/Informing the public was given more emphasis and photographs were printed on a normal paper and were glued to the walls at these locations as part of blending the idea of architecture/texture with photography and building.  The workshop was led by John Fleetwood.
