Creative Hub Ethiopia

Ethiopian fashion at Milan Fashion Week. 🇪🇹🇮🇹

A proud moment as Meaza Beyene (MEAZA ), Meti Hailemariam (METII ) and Dagmawit Tesfaye bring their creativity and collections to Milan.

From training and mentoring in Ethiopia to connecting with the Italian fashion industry, refining their work and now presenting on an international stage — this is what creating opportunities for creative talent can look like.

Today, we celebrate the designers, their work and the journey that brought them here.

More from Milan coming soon. ✨

🎬 OPEN FRAME: Finding Her Way Into Film

What does it really take to find your way into filmmaking and develop a creative voice of your own?
For this edition of Open Frame, we sit down with filmmaker and illustrator Hawi Kefale to talk about the journey behind the work: moving from architecture and commercial media production toward narrative filmmaking, navigating the industry, and building a career around storytelling.
With over nine years of experience in media production, Hawi has worked across directing, storyboarding, writing and production. Her journey includes directing the teen drama series Yegna and an episode of the DStv anthology series Addis Fikir, which went on to win an Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Award (AMVCA).

Her creative journey has also taken her beyond Ethiopia. Through a film residency in Morocco organized by Tamayouz and UNESCO, she developed and produced a short film while collaborating in an international creative environment.

But behind every milestone is a journey, the decisions, challenges, experiments and lessons that rarely make it into a professional bio.

That’s what Open Frame is about.

A Creative Hub Ethiopia conversation series where emerging and established creative professionals share the realities of building a career, finding their voice and navigating Ethiopia’s creative industry.

📅 August 28
⏰ 4:00 PM / 10:00 Local Time
📍 Creative Hub Ethiopia, Old Post Office, Addis Ababa

If you’re a filmmaker, storyteller, creative professional or simply trying to find your own path in the creative industry, come and be part of the conversation.
