For this week's report, I visited a cartoon exhibition organized by the Embassy of Sweden in Addis Ababa on climate change. The exhibition was hosted at Alliance Ethio-Francaise Starting from Monday, May 8th and will be completing today May 12th. The drawings were done by numerous Ethiopian, Kenyan, Tanzanian, and Swedish artists. The art work was, as I viewed it, aiming to raise the pressing issue of climate change to the general public of Addis Ababa. There was also a part of the gallery wall where visitors could stick a note on what they were doing for the environment.

Dawit, thank you for your report. The exhibition seems very interesting! I wish I could see them in front of my eyes. I believe there are numerous ways to raise environmental awareness and definitely cartoon is one of them.

Art (in this case cartoons) is often the best and most impactful tool to convey message and inspire people. Glad to know that you visited the exhibition. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Dawit for sharing. Cartoons are a great way to express serious matters and I hope the message is loud and clear to all those who attended the exhibition. I wish I too can get a chance to visit such an exhibition
