Photographs by contemporary Ethiopian artist Aïda Muluneh will be on show at the Jakopič Gallery in an exhibition titled On the Edge of Past Future, produced by Fotografie Forum Frankfurt.

Muluneh's work is characterised by vibrant colours, symbolic compositions, and multilayered storytelling. She blends traditional African body painting with influences from cinema, painting, and photojournalism.

The exhibition explores critical issues such as water scarcity, gender equality, and human resilience, while reimagining the visual language of Africa.

It presents the artist's most prominent series in the past decade, The Water Life (2018), which illuminates the impact of water scarcity on women in rural Ethiopia through powerful portraits.

Guided tours of the exhibition in English and Slovenian will be available every Saturday and Sunday at 4:30pm.
