Reaching your Jimma workshop
Jimma is not served by a railway network, so visitors typically arrive by road or air. For those travelling within Ethiopia, major roads connect Jimma to cities like Addis Ababa. Public transport, primarily minibuses and shared taxis, operate throughout Jimma, making it relatively straightforward to navigate the city. Confirming the exact workshop location will help in planning your journey.
For international visitors, Jimma is served by Aba Segud Airport (JIM), which handles domestic flights. From the airport, taxis and local transport are readily available to reach your accommodation or workshop venue within the city. If arriving by coach from other Ethiopian cities, the main bus station in Jimma is a central hub. Parking for private vehicles can be found in various locations, though availability might vary depending on the specific workshop venue chosen. We recommend discussing transport options when booking to ensure a smooth arrival for your group.
Local culture
Street art culture in Jimma
Jimma, while steeped in historical and cultural significance, does not have a widely established or prominent street art scene in the way some larger global cities do. The public art you might encounter is more likely to be traditional murals or commemorative pieces rather than contemporary graffiti or abstract street art. Our workshops aim to introduce these modern art forms to a local context, providing a new avenue for creative expression.
We respect the local environment and culture, ensuring our workshops are conducted in designated areas. This approach allows participants to engage with graffiti art responsibly and creatively, perhaps even inspiring future local artistic initiatives. The focus is on the process of creation and collaboration within a respectful community setting.
