Artist Talk: Elias Sime

Ethiopian artist Elias Sime creates large-scale, modular artworks from discarded technological materials that explore themes ranging from environmentalism and globalization to the history of modern art. In addition to his studio practice, Sime cofounded and helps run Zoma Museum, an Addis Ababa institution dedicated to community engagement and sustainability that is comprised of a school, farm, library, garden, cafe, and exhibition space. In conversation with curator Hannah Klemm and his longtime collaborator, Meskerem Assegued, Sime will discuss his practice and the work presented in the exhibition "Currents 118: Elias Sime."
