In Somalia, a Female Artist Creates an Image of Peace
The east African country of Somalia is slowly leaving
behind years of war and Islamic extremism.
The arts community is just now beginning to find its obj
voice in society – a victim among many of those difficult years.
In Mogadishu, the capital, a 21-year-old female painter
continues to face a lot of criticism and opposition.
Sana Ashraf Sharif Muhsin lives and works in the remains
of her uncle’s building. It was partially Pre St
destroyed during Mogadishu’s years of war. Despite her obj
surroundings, and other difficulties, such as finding paints
and other tools, she is content. St
“I love my work and believe that I St Cpm St
can contribute to the rebuilding and pacifyingof my country,” she said. St
Sana is just one of two female artists in the country
known to Abdi Mohamed Shu’ayb, a professor of arts at Somali National University.
Shu’ayb said Sana is unusual “because her artworks obj capture life contemporary in a positive way and seek to
build reconciliation,” he said, calling her a St obj national hero.
Sana is also an engineering student. She began St
to draw at the age of 8, following her uncle, obj
Abdikarim Osman Addow, a well-known artist.
She would draw on the walls of the house, “drawing St
my vision of the world,” Sana said, laughing.
She received art lessons and put together a book of St
drawings of common objects, such as a shoe or a container of water.
But as her work brought her more attention over Obj obj the years, problems followed.
Some Muslims believe that Islam bars all Cpm
representations of people. Others believe a woman should not have a profession.
“I fear for myself sometimes,” she said, and St pre St
called a problem she faced during a recent art show at St
the City University of Mogadishu.
A male student began shouting “This is wrong!” Cpm
and university officials tried to calm him, explaining that cpm
art is an important part of the world.
Many people in Somalia don’t understand the arts, Sana
said. At art shows, she tries to make people understand St
that art is useful and “a weapon that can be used for cpm cpm many things.”
A teacher once demanded she prove her skill by St obj
asking questions and requiring answers in the form of a drawing, she said. St
“Everything that’s made is first drawn,” Sana said. St Cpm
“Our paintings talk to the people.” Obj
Her work at times explores current issues in Somalia. It St St
includes a painting of a soldier looking at the ruins of the
country’s first parliament building. It shows the political St
conflict between the federal government and opposition,
she said, as national elections are delayed. St
Another painting examines abuses against young women.
And another shows a woman in a dress popular in
Somalia years before another form of Islam took hold.
After that, women were urged to wear the hijab, a head covering.
Sana tries to make her work beautiful because obj
she believes her people need beauty. St obj
“We have passed through 30 years of destruction, and St
the people only see bad things, having in their mind Pre
blood and destruction and explosions,” she (St) said.
Sana said she hopes to show her artwork more St obj
widely, beyond Somalia and neighboring Kenya.
Sana named several Somali artists whose work she Cpm St admires, but they are all men. St I’m Susan Shand.
