Mihret Kebede born in Dessie, Ethiopia, is not only a poet, performer and visual artist, she also organizes festivals and generally enjoys working in collaborative, cross-cultural contexts. Kebede is co-founder of the artist collective Netsa Art Village, the Tobiya Poetic Jazz event series, and the Addis Video Art Festival. Thinking and acting in many directions also permeates her poetry. She immerses herself in collaborations that transcend the boundaries of what is individually said, and is at the same time grippingly political.

Her poetry, written in Amharic, is pictorial and emotional, analytical and reflective, tender and assertive at the same time – open texts for all those marginalized in the name of cultural and social hegemonies. Kebede’s poems have appeared in the first anthology of Ethiopian Amharic poetry in English, Songs We Learn from Trees (Carcanet Press 2020), and in Wax and Gold: Poetry Jazz (Koenig Books 2019), Washington Square Review NYU Jornal of creative writing among other publications. In 2013, she was awarded „Best Practicing Artist“ by the Ethiopian Ministry of Culture and Tourism. Currently, Kebede is a doctoral student at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna.
