What’s Up: Joniya Studio
Hidden behind the bustle of Africa Avenue near Bole Printing Press, Joniya Studio is a modest one-room space founded by architect and artist Saron.
More than a gallery, it’s a place where art is created, shared, and experienced — from children’s classes and summer camps to sip-and-paint sessions with coffee. Though small, Joniya is carving out a unique space in Addis Ababa’s art scene, showing that art is as much about connection as it is about creation.
