Isreal | Mar - May 2025
Rachel Anyo (b. Kiryat Yam, Israel) is a multidisciplinary artist and photographer whose work explores identity, femininity, and cultural heritage. Merging traditional Ethiopian folklore with contemporary digital techniques, she creates a unique visual language, reinterpreting hand weaving through family photographs, digital collages, mandalas, and woven compositions. Anyo has held solo exhibitions, including Figure Coming to Life at the Haifa Museum of Art (2024) and A Love Letter to Myself at Maya Gallery (2023), and has participated in several group exhibitions. Beyond her studio practice, Anyo is committed to community-based art initiatives, working to make contemporary art accessible to underserved audiences. She amplifies the voices of marginalized communities, especially the Israeli-Ethiopian community, through collaborative projects, workshops, and exhibitions. Her focus on community engagement fosters social change and enriches the discourse around cultural identity and representation.
