Dhaqan Collection
Bristol based but events nationwide
The dhaqan collective is a feminist art collective of Somali women, centering the voices of women and elders in our community, and privileging co-creation and collaboration.
Lead by Fozia Ismail and Ayan Cilmi. Their practice seeks to find ways of building imaginative futures that support Somali people here and in East Africa to resist the threats over their cultural heritage. They use everyday materials to create spaces of community, joy and healing that centre the full range of Somali diasporic experiences.
