@ifrahmansour is a Somali multimedia artist based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Her practice interweaves text, movement, sound, digital media, and visual installation. - Strong women propel themselves with just gravity. My grandmother never said it, she lived it. She lived through the Somali Civil War in 1991. She farmed on drought-ridden land. She raised and lived to see her great-grandchildren. She kept walking. She never gave up. My family left Somalia in search of a better life. Now, I live in Minneapolis, a land of 10,000 lakes, but I see Minneapolis as a land of 10,000 hijabis. | Photographer Andy Rickter | Muse @ifrahmansour | @afrobougee | #somali #afrobougee #whatisblack #hijabis #minneapolis #civilwar #visualinstallation #digitalmedia #traveljournal #nouveaunoir #multimedia #proudlysomalian
