The twenty-one photographs in this exhibition document a remarkable event in recent Ethiopian history, one that provoked fresh debate about both Haile Selassie and Ethiopia’s troubled political history. The photographs shown here explore the tensions between royal, state and religious hierarchies surrounding the ceremony, as well as more personal expressions of loyalty by some of the participants.
Haile Selassie was crowned Emperor of Abyssinia in 1930, but shortly afterwards fled into exile when Mussolini invaded the country in 1935. Despite his appeal to the League of Nations for intervention, the European powers wished to avoid conflict with Italy. Haile Selassie returned triumphantly in 1941 after a military campaign ousted the Italian forces, and the country was renamed Ethiopia.
Exhibition runs through to November 21st, 2010

Looking for an alternative city break to defy all pre-conceptions? Israel never sprung to mind? Well, trust us; it should definitely be at the forefront of your mind when planning your next cultural excursion. Rich atmosphere, heady beachlife, bustling shopping streets, markets, and hip bohemian neighbourhoods make Tel Aviv a multi-layered city with something for everyone.
From the designer shops of Shenkin Street, rich in cafés serving traditional coffee to linger over, to the boho Yemenite Quarter and the fortified port of Jaffa, the diversity here is unmissable. If shopping is on your to-do list but designer price tags aren’t, don’t miss Carmel Market: narrow avenues of stalls selling everything from fresh fruit to exotic spices and clothes.
For those art-lovers amongst you, spend a day immersing yourself in local galleries. Head to Gordon Street, the original hub of Tel Aviv galleries and the perfect spot for some serious art gazing.
In need of escaping the urban jungle? Stroll along the seafront from the shiny new marina and across the sandy beaches which stretch all the way from north to south and head for the historic port town of Jaffa (yes, where the oranges come from), where sun-bleached castles and turreted doorways greet you beside fabulous sea views.
Cutting-edge culture in the Mediterranean ‘city that never sleeps’. Get in quick, before the rest of the travel rabble catches on.
