about

Roland Davis's "Tilant, Zare, Nege" is inspired by fimmaker Salem Mekuria's video installation "To Arba Minch." "Roland is a real interesting guy from Hawaii who was studying with Brookmeyer at NEC," says Harper. The piece, he notes, "explores the juxtaposition of old and new in Ethiopia," bouncing off Mekuria's desire to portray the East African country as more than simply drought-stricken, arid, forsaken.
