The city, once adorned with hand-painted aluminum fences, is now being transformed with computer-printed graphics. These new designs lack the variety of artistic ideas and unique features that once defined them. Grey has become the dominant color, blanketing buildings and fences alike, creating a uniform cityscape that signals a so-called "higher standard."
In some areas, the printed fences feature light green forest motifs, while others are shaded blue to evoke an island scene, small pockets of colour and imagination in anticipation of the upcoming AU Summit in Addis Abeba.
