Jamiila by @hausofriya ✨ This month — from july 13th to sept 1st — I will be exhibiting my first solo show at gallery 44 (401 richmond street west). i decided that my first solo exhibit would be about young somali girls being guardians of the universe. ‘riyadii farxiyo’ Which translates to dreams of farxiyo. this exhibit was one i have been creating pieces since i could remember. thank you to @tahoyjames for being my curator & advocator for believing in me to provide me with this opportunity. i will be presenting 6 pieces, including this 1. they are all named after the somali women in my life. this is the promo & also first piece i created in my theme & i named it ‘jamiila’ after my hoyoo, the woman who went through war & hell to make sure i was here with her & continue to be with her. . . july 13th there will be an opening reception from 6pm - 9pm. it would mean the world to this black muslimah from somalia if y’all showed up to support. link for more info in my bio. . . #supportblackart #riyajama #hausofriya #somaliart #afroart #afrofuturism #artistlife #womenartists #blackgirlmagic #blackbeauty #artlove #torontoart #gallery44 #blkcreatives
