Travelling to Your Dessie Workshop

Reaching your Graffitifun workshop in Dessie is straightforward. The city does not have a railway station, but it is well-connected by road. Dessie is situated along Ethiopia's primary north-south route, often referred to as Highway 1 or the Addis Ababa-Asmara Road, making it accessible from major cities like Addis Ababa to the south or Kombolcha nearby.

For those flying in, Dessie does not have its own airport. The nearest operational airport is Kombolcha Airport (DSE), which serves domestic flights. From Kombolcha, Dessie is a relatively short drive away. Local public transport, primarily minibuses and bajajs, are readily available throughout the city for navigating to your workshop location. Parking for private vehicles and coaches can be arranged at or near most workshop venues.

Local culture

Street Art and Creativity in Dessie

Dessie's urban landscape, while not defined by an extensive street art scene in the same way as some global cities, possesses a vibrant visual culture. The city's daily life, its bustling markets, and the strong presence of traditional Ethiopian artistry provide a fertile ground for artistic inspiration. You might observe colourful murals on shops or communal buildings, often depicting cultural motifs or local scenes.

The creative spirit in Dessie often manifests through craftsmanship and local artistic expressions, rather than large-scale graffiti. Our workshops aim to tap into this inherent creativity, allowing participants to explore modern street art techniques within a culturally rich environment. It's about bringing a new form of artistic expression to a place already appreciative of visual storytelling.
