Another beautiful day with the Zewari crew at St. George Armenian Apostolic Church ✨⛪️. New faces, familiar ones and a whole lot of creative energy. We captured it through our new lens, each sketch a unique reflection of its beauty. Sketches like this remind us why we wander. Until the next wander. ✍️ #zewari #urbansketchers #church #AddisAbeba

Best laid plans? Not today. We couldn't sketch at Be'atta Mariam due to a permission hiccup so we did what any true Zewari (wanderers)would do: we wandered. Ended up at 4 Kilo Square, improvised on the spot, and sketched the monument instead. Sometimes the unplanned sessions are the most memorable. #UrbanSketching #Zewari #Wanderers #4Kilo #AddisAbaba

We're sketching at Be'atta Mariam orthodox church— and you're invited! 🎨✨ Come wander, watch, and draw with us. No skill level required, just a love for capturing the city. 📍 Be'atta Mariam 📅 June 7,2026 | ⏰ 02:00 PM Bring your sketchbook and curiosity. We'll bring the vibes.

The Ones Who Walk - collective exhibition with ZEWARI — opening Friday, November 14, at 5pm. Zewari is a collective of urban sketchers based in Addis Ababa. Meeting on Saturdays, each time at a new urban gem, Zewari captures the city in motion through spontaneous sketches — weaving the lines of urban memory through diverse and collective perspectives. In a city like Addis Ababa, transforming at great speed, their practice becomes an essential act — a matter of architecture, history, memory, and community. BleuStudio AA is thrilled to invite you all to the second edition of the Crossed Realities series. Okay

Ras Birru Stepping back in time at the Ras Birru Addis Abeba Museum. There are places in this city that don't just stand in space, they stand in time. Today, we planted ourselves at the Ras Birru Addis Abeba Museum, not just as visitors, but as listeners. With sketchbooks in hand, We tried to translate its quiet dignity into lines and shadows. To the artists who joined today, thank you for sharing your eyes and your energy. And to Ras Birru's legacy, thank you for holding space in our city's memory. We left with pages full of more than just sketches, we left with a deeper connection to this place we call home. #ZEWARi #urbansketching
