🌎 | WE ARE ONE | 🌎 | GLOBAL MAJORITY | ARTIST SHOWCASE | I am truly honoured to be partnering with @houseofaeiou and @gunnersburyparkmuseum to be delivering an Exhibition showcasing over 15 Global Majority Artists from over 5 Global Regions featuring Their Stories, inspirations and providing a space to Platform Their Work. This all started from the idea that stemmed from the question of ‘Who decides HOW to tell OUR Stories?’ For far too long Global Majority Communities have had their narratives shaped by those that live outside of their perspectives - packed into reports, articles and research projects that lack the dialogue of the very people who’s lives are being later documented and recorded as ‘History’. OUR communities have their own Stories… WE all have our own Lived Experiences…ONE Story can inspire 1000’s of Lives… | WE ARE ONE | GLOBAL MAJORITY SHOWCASE | Will be a 3 part interactive exhibition hosted at Gunnersbury Park Museum on Sunday 27th of April from 12pm - 4pm. The exhibition will feature diverse art forms ranging from Visual Art, Page Poetry, Sculptures, Photography and more. There will also be a chance for visitors to BE APART of the exhibition through are interactive ‘LIVING HISTORY’ segment which will be running throughout. We have a special surprise at the end featuring ARTISTS Performances you DO NOT WANT TO MISS ;) THE EVENT IS £3 TICKETS Thank you to all the Amazing Artist that have made this possible 🙏🏿 GLOBAL MAJORITY ARTISTS: | Brianna Clara | @bri.11.05 | Vignesh Venkataramaiah | @vigspoetry | Kavita Hansla | @kavitalks | Roshad van der Pool | @rosh.png | Maria Camila Banol Montoya | @calling4camilaa | Ronni Jazz | @projectrnz | Lauryn Nadine | @laurynxnadine | Lizbeth Peña | @liz_x_beth_ | Queen Tea | @officialqueentea | Yemi Yohannes | @yem.ii | Ayan Aden | @ayanmoaden | Atlanta Downes | @atlantadownes | Sergio Lopez | @notsergioh | Ashley De Guzman | @ashleyofguzman | Mohamed Mohamud | @moamohamud COME JOIN USDATE: SUNDAY 27th APRIL TIME: 12PM - 4 PM LOCATION: GUNNERSBURY PARK MUSEUM- Closest Train Station: Acton Town 🙏🏿 ONE NOT TO MISS! 🙏🏿 by @nomadic_libaax

Oxford House: History Exhibition I recently partnered with @oxfordhouse1884 For a special poem to commemorate 140 years Of London’s history, more-so the impact Of the Somali Community over the last 100 years. It’s brings me great pleasure to honour those who came before to continue their legacy of impact. The first Somalis to come to the UK were the seafarers back in 1800s setting up communities in port cities across the UK. The piece From Then Till Now,Interweaves Somali Proverbs, sayings which say so much, common Somali custom with a poetical twist used to convey messages and meaning and the story of a people who made a new home away from home. The exhibition is on till December so if you’re in east London check it out!!#poetry #history #legacy by @nomadic_libaax

Many Moments Make Meaning-Full Memories… Alhamdulilah for the opportunity and chance to share stories and amplify spaces that allow for connection, learning & the honouring of those who stood before - upholding the innate value of human experience… I am forever grateful to The Most High for the chance to express, exchange and collaborate with talented and amazing individuals who strive to platform people and push the boundaries of possibility to further widen perspectives…The last few episodes of this saga have given rise to new learnings, new ways of creating & exploring which have come with many tests that have taken many forms … I hope if anything that parts of my journey may inspire others to know that possibility lies in the patience to preserve and push even when the light in life does not shine so bright… The world is changing, it all too often feels and is a dark place… But…We can do what we can to shine light, to push for change in how we exchange, engage and express…Possibility takes many forms 🙏🏿 Thank you to all the people and amazing light bearers I have met on this journey the list is endless 🙏🏿 by @nomadic_libaax
