At exhibitions, she tries to make people understand that art is useful and “a weapon that can be used for many things.”Ī teacher once challenged her skills by asking questions and requiring answers in the form of a drawing, she said. Many people in Somalia don’t understand the arts, Sana said, and some even criticize them as disgusting. A male student began shouting “This is wrong!” and professors tried to calm him, explaining that art is an important part of the world. “I fear for myself sometimes,” she said, and recalled a confrontation during a recent exhibition at the City University of Mogadishu. More formal instruction followed, and she eventually assembled a book from her sketches of household items like a shoe or a jug of water.īut as her work brought her more public attention over the years, some tensions followed. “I would use charcoal on all the walls of the house, drawing my vision of the world,” Sana said, laughing.

She is just one of two female artists he knows of in Somalia, with the other in the breakaway region of Somaliland.Īnd yet Sana is unique “because her artworks capture contemporary life in a positive way and seek to build reconciliation,” he said, calling her a national hero. Sana stands out for breaking the gender barrier to enter a male-dominated profession, according to Abdi Mohamed Shu’ayb, a professor of arts at Somali National University.
