Le Bon Voyage—Brooklyn

Posted: Jan, 18th 2019 Contributor: Bilen Shifferaw,

Togolese musician Tabi Bonney and curator Erik Pettie present Le Bon Voyage—Brooklyn, a photo exhibition that celebrates Ethiopia's ethnic groups.

Tabi Bonney is an independent music artist, director, and creative entrepreneur from Togo, West Africa by way of Washington DC. His songs and visual content have received global support allowing him to travel and create all over the world.

Earlier this year, Bonney took a trip to Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee. His intention was to learn more about the beverage, as he is currently harvesting coffee beans from his own farms in the Republic of Togo.

The trip quickly became much more as he grew inspired by the beauty, traditional fashion, and magical pride of the men, women, and children he encountered during his journey.

This collection of portraits takes you on Le Bon Voyage (the good trip) through the eyes of Bonney and is currently being exhibited in various cities and pays homage to the Suri people of Ethiopia.
