"Painting and Piety: Contemporary Visual Practice in the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Churchâ
For the last 30-40 years mechanically reproduced (printed) religious imagery that originates from outside Ethiopia has been imported in Ethiopia where it has had a profound impact on the visual practices of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewehedo Church. The paper considers the processes by which this imagery has been adopted and adapted by contemporary artists who produce paintings for Orthodox churches as well as the roles it has played in shaping the spiritual lives of Orthodox Christians in Ethiopia.
