Yosef LULE

Yosef current topic is brought by the recent growth of his city Addis Ababa, which everyone can see through the buildings and works... But there are many impacts that one another may not see yet. Civilization and urban growth have several positive aspects and the aim is not to judge these developments, but rather to question ourselves. Cultures, traditions, religions, activity type, way of life, housing, green spaces - among others - are leading the lifestyle of humans and specifically of Ethiopians. With the growth of the city, some of these aspects may be put aside, confused and affected as people start to leave further one from another, vertically or horizontally. With more and more people moving from rural to urban area, dropping their farm land and tools, what will be the impact on the local food production ? Are these new comers getting job to fulfill their daily requirements ? Are the rural areas still under concern ? What are the important points that we shall not forget and that we shall transmit to future generations ? Social life, mutual support, sharing and pure air ? For Yosef, this urbanization leads to ask several mathematic equations under question which are indirectly reflected in the paintings : · Human made forms – natural forms = horizontal and vertical forms · Future city + our social life = ? · Culture + believing + life style + business + social life + identify + identities + job type = ? · Education + modernization - culture = ? · population number + climate change + increase in city size – wildlife = which future? · City growing + urban migration – spaces = ?
