Art as Liberation:
a Journey Towards Collective Healing

The Somali Museum presents "Art As Liberation: A Journey towards Collective Healing," a transformative visual art project featuring three unique exhibits by seven artists. This project aims to guide viewers through a journey of care and liberation, weaving individual and collective narratives to foster profound connections. Inspired by the insights of Chioneso et al. (2020), who advocate for integrating personal healing within communal frameworks for impactful transformation, the exhibition serves as a space for enriching conversations and transcending traditional artistic boundaries. Through this project , the artists explore various facets of radical healing, embracing concepts such as critical consciousness, collective solidarity, and the cultivation of resilience against adversities.
