Our Vision
To shape a vibrant, internationally connected contemporary dance ecosystem in Ethiopia where artists and communities have access to high-quality dance education, artistic expression and creative opportunity.
We imagine a future where contemporary dance is accessible, valued and woven into Ethiopia's cultural life, a space where curiosity, creativity and diverse perspectives inspire new ways of thinking, creating and connecting.
Tibeb is a women-led contemporary dance hub where artists, communities, institutions and international partners come together to create, exchange ideas and build lasting cultural connections.
Our work ranges from performances and artist residencies to professional development, research and international collaborations, creating opportunities for artists to explore their practice while contributing to the growth of contemporary dance in Ethiopia.
We believe movement has the power to connect people, spark dialogue and transform the way communities experience art and one another.
By working alongside underprivileged communities, including people with disabilities, Tibeb expands access to contemporary dance while creating spaces where confidence, belonging, leadership and diverse voices can thrive.
Every project contributes to a stronger cultural landscape, one where contemporary dance is recognized as a vital force for creativity, connection and social imagination.
Tibeb believes contemporary dance thrives when diverse voices are empowered to create, lead and connect.
