The war on Palestine is not Muslim vs Jews, it is native versus settler, it is colonizer versus colonized.

The world isn’t going to change. Which means I’ll have to.

You become an adult the moment you stop dreaming 💫

1. My mum’s old beautiful crochet piece
2. Henna on my hand
3. The national breakfast meal ‘laxoox’

ART IS ABOUT HOW YOU LOOK AT THINGS 👁👣

“The creative adult is the child that survived”

[shay 𓂀 @surrealistshay]

some artist focus on storytelling. others focus on experimentation. some focus on technical skills. others focus on composition. some focus on innovation. others focus on conveying emotion. in the end, focus on what you want & share your art

A friend in Kenya asked me to do him a commission of anything that could resemble Somaliland, and immediately Edna came to my mind 🥰🤍
I took hours telling him who she is and he really loved the painting and of course Edna Adan 🤍🤍

[Ayn @ayn_saed]

Had the privilege to be part of an artXchange residency. And when I was coming to Kenya I was prepared to work as a visual artist only, but everything changed from the day we started the project.
