Teff Teffa: Meron Engida Hawke

Welancora Gallery is proud to present Teff Teffa, a solo exhibition of new, mixed-media paintings and sculpture by Meron Engida Hawke (b. 1987). The exhibition opens on Thursday, March 30 and remains on view until May 11. This is the artist’s first solo exhibition with the gallery. 


Ancient Ethiopian art and material culture act as points of departure for Hawke’s work, which tells the story of her country’s struggles with climate change, economic disparity, civil war, and industrialization, while simultaneously shedding light on the beauty and resilience of the culture as she weaves tales of African female empowerment.
