አድባር / ADBAR : Offerings to the Unseen World | Spazju Kreattiv, Valetta, Malta, Miriam Hillawi Abraham, 2025
አድባር are guardian, typically feminine, spirits, that preside over communities across Ethiopia. They are part of the many ritual and material traditions that have existed in the region before the adoption of Abrahamic religions. The spirits often take on the form of a sacred forest or a single tree, often Warka (fig) or Oda (sycamore) trees, that also serve as a gathering place for elders.
