Chester Higgins’s Homage to Ethiopia

Of all the African countries he has visited, Ethiopia holds a special place for Chester Higgins Jr. It is there, far from the cities, that he is able to meditate on the intertwined strands of his life and art.

Chester Higgins Jr. has traveled to Africa every year since 1971 as a way to meditate, disconnect and examine his life. Through the experience of photographing new people and places, his art both shapes and reflects his narrative. And nowhere is that truer for him than in Ethiopia, a place that has long enchanted him.
