Abstract

This graphic novel is the result of a micro-ethnographic research to Kechene, a district of Addis Ababa. Using graphic techniques borrowed from the architecture discipline, this graphic novel aims at bringing together representations of everyday life in the Kechene sefer (neighbourhood), that show how human life shapes its environment and vice versa. This graphic novel not only represents the architectural qualities and spatial relationships, but also reveals the hidden narratives of ordinary stories.
The graphic novel is complemented with a research booklet, which includes some of the key research findings that support the narrative used in the graphic novel. The research booklet is structured as a series of commented images reporting the research methods and the analysis that lead to the elaboration of the graphic novel
