Abstract
Arada is not only the old city centre of Addis Ababa.
In the slang of the streets of Addis Ababa, being Arada means being smart and cool. Since the 1960s, sex workers, intellectuals and street hustlers engaged with ideas of “Arada” to describe themselves and make sense of their lives in the city.
Combining still-image cinematography and participatory storytelling , “A Day in Arada” narrates the struggles of being an Arada and what is to achieve respect and recognition in the midst of exclusion.
Awarded best documentary at Cotswold International Film Festival and Paddy Town Film Festival, finalist at Rome Prisma Awards, semi-finalist at the Small Axe – Radical Short Films, honorable mention at AIMA Film Festival in Athens. Official selection at Iconic Images Film Festival, Anatolia International Film Festival, Ramsgate International Film Festival, Kutaisi International Short Film Festival
