So proud of how our first @KoorArchives exhibit went Masha’Allah Tabarakallah! ❤️ Major shout out to @azizfaarah @idelrasheed and @TheNabaddoon for being such a dream team to work with! And to everyone who came by✨
We‘re grateful to everyone who attended the Koor Archives debut exhibit in Toronto this past weekend! Seeing our community come together to celebrate Somali culture was beautiful. Register at koorarchives.com for information on future events and programming.

Over the past few years, Koor Archives have travelled the world, acquiring and contextualising Somali cultural artefacts, making them more accessible to the communities from which they originate!

The golxob is a large, double-sided dagger or short sword with a curved metal blade, commonly used throughout Somali territories. Often worn with a belt and secured in a leather scabbard, this weapon is also known as a gile in Afar and is popular in the Somali Horn and Eritrea

Together with Asha, Ibrahim, and Idel,
I'm excited to share the Koor Archives project with you! Follow this space and join us on the journey to preserve and celebrate Somali culture both at home and abroad.
One thing I LOVE about social media is its ability to connect like-minded people, all over the world to work on projects as exciting as this! 👇🏾
I’m honored to get to work with Aziz, Ibrahim, and Idel on the Koor Archives project! Follow this space and join us on this journey 🧡
I’ve been inactive on this app for like 2 years, and I forgot how strange it was 😂. It may have even gotten worse.
But hiii 👋🏾

Flying to Paris at the last minute to collect 53 headrests with a friend I’ve only met online (@TheNabaddoon) was a surreal experience. Haggling over a Somali amber necklace in a Paris flea market with a Brazilian dealer of African art was not on my list for 2024.
The Imam at the Mosque last night asked everyone to make dua (prayer supplication) that Morocco wins 🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🤣😅!!!!!
AND I’m certain majority of Muslims/Africans/Black/Brown people(and those who are all of the above) were praying for this win 🫣🏆🙌🏾.

This might be a good time to remind people that Spain still occupies Moroccan territory - Ceuta and Melilla. #Morocco
