Template:Short description Elizabeth Habte Wold (born 1963) is an Ethiopian artist known for her mixed-media work. She completed degrees in fine arts at the School of Fine Arts in Addis Ababa[1][2] and Baltimore City Community College in Maryland, and an MFA at Howard University. She became interested in digital media through a certificate program in interactive multimedia and web design at George Washington University. She has worked since the mid-1990s as a multimedia designer, and lives in Addis Ababa.[3]
Her works in a 2003 exhibition were described thus: "Wold's small collages, made from torn newspapers and magazines, ponder the fragmented lives of displaced people, both [in the U.S.] and in Ethiopia."[4] These works were included in a group exhibition called "Ethiopian Passages: Dialogues in the Diaspora" at the Smithsonian's National Museum of African Art.[5] Her work has also been exhibited at the National Museum of Ethiopia and Gebre Kristos Desta Center.[6]
Wold's recent works sometimes include computer animation.[3]
