Ethiopian-American filmmaker Sosena Solomon is reshaping how the world sees Africa through Africa Reframed, a 12-part film series commissioned by the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the World Monuments Fund. Shot across 18 months in sacred and historic sites—from Nigeria’s Osun-Osogbo Grove to Botswana’s Tsodilo Hills—the films celebrate Africa’s cultural heritage through the voices of local scholars and the stewards who protect these sites. Blending drone footage with intimate storytelling, Solomon’s work transforms each site into a living testament of resilience, spirituality, and artistry. Now permanently housed in the Met’s Arts of Africa galleries, the series acts as both a stunning visual experience and a vital act of preservation, ensuring these architectural treasures and their living guardians are remembered.
