Abstract:
The Wax and Gold of Hairstyle in Ethiopia exhibition marks Goethe-Institut Äthiopien`s second collaboration with the Frobenius Institute since 2019. However, the exhibition is by no means the first time the Goethe-Institut has focused on photography, documentation and archiving in relation to ideas of memory, representation and cultural identity.The concept for The Wax and Gold of Hairstyle in Ethiopia exhibition was born out of the Baxxe Home project. As part of that project, photographer Maheder Hailesellasie and heritage expert Abel Assefa were invited to the Frobenius Institute for Research in Cultural Anthropology in Frankfurt, Germany. During their visits in March and May 2019, they were able to access the institute`s photographic archives and artefacts collected from Southern Ethiopia by German anthropologists throughout the twentieth century.
