Conversations with a Continent: Ethiopia
January 14, 20097:00pm - 9:00pm
Location: 92nd Street Y at 1395 Lexington Avenue, Warburg Hall
For a second year, participants of Conversations with a Continent are introduced to African art and culture and the contemporary realities of life in North America and Africa. Each session, devoted to a specific country, fosters a dialogue among audience members, scholars, artists, policy-makers and Africans living in the United States. Co-presented with the 92nd Street Y.
One of the oldest independent nations in the world and Africa's second-most populous nation, this ancient country maintained its freedom from colonial rule with the brief exception of the 1936-41 Italian occupation. The Ethiopian Coptic church traces its origin to the earliest Christian period. A country with more than 80 different ethnic groups each with its own language, culture, customs and traditions; it is a country moving rapidly into modernity.
Series Subscription: $200
