Table for Generations
“Table for Generations” is a contemporary public art installation, often a long communal table placed in a significant urban or natural setting, designed to symbolize unity and shared heritage. Its history is rooted in community-building projects of the 21st century, where such installations are created to invite people of all backgrounds to gather, share stories, and foster intergenerational connection. The specific history varies by location, but the concept universally celebrates collective memory and the passing of traditions.
Ethiopia
Ethiopia is a historically rich nation in the Horn of Africa, widely considered one of the oldest sites of human existence and home to the ancient Aksumite Kingdom. It is unique as one of the few African countries to avoid long-term colonization, maintaining its sovereignty and ancient Christian traditions. Its cultural heritage includes rock-hewn churches in Lalibela, medieval castles in Gondar, and the walled city of Harar.
Wollo
Wollo is a historic province in northern Ethiopia, known for its central role in the country’s political and cultural development. It was the seat of several medieval kingdoms and later became a focal point during the 19th-century struggles for imperial power.
