Aqal exhibition celebrates Somali culture in Melbourne | Art Works

Aqal is a multi-layered exhibition celebrating Somali culture and art in Naarm (Melbourne) #ArtWorksABC Subscribe now: https://ab.co/ABCArtsSubscribe ‘Aqal’ meaning nomadic hut, is a homecoming for Somali-Australians according to co-curator Najma Sambul. The brief was left wide open for artists, who were simply asked what makes them feel Somali, what speaks to their culture or ‘dhaqan’. The exhibition included the titular ‘Aqal’ by traditional weaver Muhubo Suleiman, ‘Loss’ a collection of ceramic works by contemporary artist Idil Abdullahi, and a Somali female dance ensemble. A collaboration with Melbourne company Snuff Puppets resulted in an engaging performance by children from the Somali community. --------------- Hosted by Namila Benson, Art Works is the ABC's weekly half-hour arts show sharing the most inspiring, surprising, and formative ways that Australian creatives are telling our stories today. https://iview.abc.net.au/show/art-works Create an ABC Account to stream more on ABC iview: abc.net.au/signup ----------- Follow ABC Arts:   / abc_arts   Like ABC Arts:   / abcarts   Follow ABC Arts:   / abcarts   Follow ABC iview:   / abciview
