The newest Yatreda project captures the world’s most famous origin story: 𝘈𝘥𝘢𝘮 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘏𝘦𝘸𝘢𝘯. Or, as the world knows them: Adam and Eve. 𝘈𝘥𝘢𝘮 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘏𝘦𝘸𝘢𝘯 is another story which belongs to the world, but the way we artistically interpret it is based on my understanding studying the Tewahedo tradition.

Every culture in the world holds their own creation story. Where we came from, where we are going, and what defines good and evil. In Ethiopia, instead of Adam and Eve, it's Adam and Hewan. We reimagined the Genesis narrative, envisioning Africa as the birthplace of humanity.

Yatreda's latest project, "Adam and Hewan", encompasses 13 video looping artworks. This project draws inspiration from the age-old tale of Adam and Hewan, reimagined through the modern and innovative perspective of the collective. We all want to see ourselves in the first people and this is our version.
