At BAB Belete presents Unveil (አርበኛ), a large video installation that includes cropped video portraits of 3000 anonymous Ethiopian patriots, presented together in a continuous loop. The historical background for the work is the anticolonial resistance that happened in Ethiopia between 1935 and 1941, which had a significant impact on history, but that went mostly forgotten. Before the out brake of the second World War, Benito Mussolini decided to invade Ethiopia. Unlike all the other African countries, Ethiopia was never colonized. The Ethiopians said no to colonialism and resisted the invasion with antique rifles and traditional weapons. During those 5 years, hundreds of thousands of peoples were brutalized and killed. The sacrifices and solidarity shown during the war is the foundation for most Africans anti-colonial movement and has provided an extraordinary historical legacy to look to modern Ethiopia as the emblem of Pan-Africanism. This happened long before Martin Luther Kin’s speech “ I have a dream”, and even before Rosa Parks refused to obey to a bus driver to give up her seat in the  coloured section to a white passenger. In the end The Ethiopians won over the Italian invasion, setting an example for the rest of the world – to those who seek freedom.
