We are working alongside invited educators, elders, storytellers, young academics and artists. Engaging more with predominantly Somali youths, to create dialogues. We aim to collect more visual documents and recordings, as well as objects from artists, workshop participants and the public to continue the conversation into a permanent archive and space.
