Rachel Berhane Araya
Managing Director
Managing Director of Culture Club and Editor-in-Chief of What’s Out Addis
With over 25 years of experience promoting Ethiopia’s art and culture, Rachel connects audiences with local talent and champions artistic collaboration. Through the Culture Club, she celebrates both heritage and contemporary creativity. Addis Ababa inspires her work—its galleries, theatres, and creative spaces make the city a living canvas where art, community, and creativity thrive.
“At Culture Club every day is different and full of energy. Seeing people connect, laugh, and enjoy what we create never gets old. It’s not just about events—it’s about making memorable moments that people smile about.”
