In Conversation with Sosina Wogayehu OAM

Join Circus Arts Hub as they chat with one of our featured creators, Sosina, who is currently establishing “The Ethiopian Circus Centre”, a national centre which will provide training and employment opportunities for the youth of Ethiopia, and celebrate Ethiopia’s extraordinary circus artists, culture and heritage.
