Warsan Mohammed

To Ourselves

Hillvale Gallery
Saturday 25 July – Sunday 23 August

This exhibition follows a protagonist on a journey to understand her longing for a motherland she is unable to experience in its pre-conflict state, while taking agency over her Somali identity. As she navigates growing up in Australia, she seeks to understand her own relationship to the motherland. She grapples with the feeling of missing a place she has never truly known, carrying memories that were passed down to her rather than lived herself. Through stories, photographs, language, and community, she pieces together an understanding of home, searching for connection across distance and generations.

Connecting to our identity is how we do the work of preserving our culture; it is how we keep it alive. As Somali Diaspora, we never got to experience our motherlands as our parents and grandparents knew them before the war. This absence reflects the sense of loss felt by many diaspora children living in a post-conflict reality. There is a quiet grief in inheriting a homeland through memory alone, yet there is also beauty in the ways we continue to carry it with us. As a collective, we are forming new stories for the next generation. More importantly, this exhibition displays resistance through visibility. We see Somali youth proudly showcasing what it means to be Somali, regardless of how the media may portray Somalis. Through this exhibition, we witness how the Somali diaspora carries itself proudly and unapologetically, redefining what it means to be Somali while preserving culture across generations. In doing so, they transform longing into belonging, ensuring that culture is not only remembered, but lived.
