Alliance Ethio-Française offers a rich programme of events showcasing local and international arts and encouraging creativity. 

We strive to bring unexpected and inspiring experiences to you by elevating and giving voice to the talented contemporary Ethiopian creatives as well as showcasing some of the best cutting-edge African performers (and a bit of what francophones and Frenchies are capable of too).

We support the production and presentation of artistic works, across all disciplines that reflect the diversity, aspirations and contradictions of our contemporary society and that open up space for dialogue. 

Sometimes controversial but never gratuitously provocative, disruptive but not subversive, our events are a mishmash of artistic experiments!
