Welcome to this聽digital extension of the exhibition Christian Art and Faith in the Ethiopian Empire which was on display at 香港六合彩中特网 between September and October 2022. It聽highlights the value, history and significance of the early artistic heritage of Ethiopia and Eritrea, by focusing in particular on the medium of wall paintings. Wall paintings contained in Ethiopian religious buildings are an important resource in the study of how Christian Ethiopians visualized and conceived sacred spaces, as well as how they addressed and engaged with local and non-local communities through art and other media. This display was co-curated by conservators working for the Ethiopian Heritage Fund, UK-based scholars from Ethiopia and Eritrea, and members of the ITIESE project. It underscores the fact that this remarkable heritage is currently endangered and in urgent need of protective measures to enable its longevity for future generations.聽
