Berhanu Ashagrie Deribew proposes a collective confrontation of mourning through her new exhibition “Wulo”
Individuals, without really knowing each other, are all linked by the experience of a past, present or future situation. This experience varies from case to case, but the one we’ll be talking about here is the feeling that arises after the death of someone close to us or someone we know. Although it’s not often considered, bereavement is an event in life that brings many people together because of a shared sense of vulnerability and loss. Contemporary artist Berhanu Ashagrie Deribew takes this analysis a step further with “Wulo“, an exhibition focusing on the practices and concepts of mourning at various levels.

In the Crucible of Shared Sorrows
The mourning process, far from being a mere tribute to the departed, is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. It is a collective healing journey where the living find solace in shared memories and forge unbreakable bonds- supporting the living and preparing them for the aftermath.
