Aden Abebe is an exhibited visual artist, independent writer-producer and non-profit founder.
Her first foray in film & television, she created, wrote and produced the hit format-bending CBC Gem series, virgins! (2022). Her production company Miskeen Media (MM) based out of Toronto, Canada is committed to telling new entertaining stories that prompt critical discussion through art. As MM looks to the future, the focus remains on telling nuanced stories of kinfolk drenched in humour and full of heart.
Aden founded and runs ART+HEALTH (est. 2018), an arts-based mental health non-profit that she co-founded serving diverse communities in Toronto and surrounding regions.
A multidisciplinary leader and talent, Aden is an intentional storyteller whose culturally-specific work speaks volumes to the communities she creates for. Beit creating conceptual photographs and community organizing around mental health or writing original & new stories, her work reinforces the full spectrum of our humanity. Aden creates as a means not an end, and always has a greater vision for where her work can take her and her community.
