The story

Addis Ababa's independent curators mount ambitious shows in pop-up spaces — but production and catalogue printing costs fall on the curators themselves. This fund covers exactly that: venue prep, lighting, and a printed catalogue per show.

What a donation buys

30 USD — catalogue printing for one exhibition
75 USD — venue lighting-and-prep day
280 USD — full production support for one independent show

A catalogue archive and a production-cost ledger are published per exhibition.
