Tides of Tribulations: A Journey Through Solace | MOHAMED HERSI

Soomaal Visual Arts Fellowship is a partnership between Soomaal House of Art and Augsburg Galleries that aims to harness the power of art as a tool for intellectual and civic engagement by advocating and advancing the creative development of Somali visual artists.  

Through a series of large scale paintings, Hersi explores emotional states of being that shape both the present moments and fleeting memories of our human experience. From joy and hope to confusion and grief, Hersi uses portraiture, landscape, and abstraction to reflect on what we currently hold and embrace, and what we will perhaps always be sifting through. A moment can hold much emotion, and emotions are what move us. 

Presented concurrently with Growing Pains II: Expected Disappointments | WASIMA FARAH
