Conversations Series

EN:
In 2016 a work colleague told me her story of female genitalia mutilation and how the cultural practice created a lasting psychological and physical impact on her life. In her story she detailed how she was cut at the age of 14 and how most women of her age from Somalia are cut as a normal occurrence. I started my research and exploration into an aspect of African culture I was unaware of.

This led to creating the work 'Conversations' which was a set of conceptual images about violence against women and its intersection with African culture. As I discovered these aspects of my heritage I became aware of the lasting impact of a patriarchal system that uses culture as a tool to ensure its durability, by suppressing female expression and sexuality. In the images, I use plants and flowers as symbolic expressions of culture, representing beauty, fragility and destructive power, likened by the role of culture in male dominated societies. In the images I created symbolic representations of physical and psychological effects of these violent practices of female genitalia mutilation, breast ironing, child marriage, sex slavery. The work was completed in 2018.

The artwork is made up of 3 editions each per size.

FR:
En 2016, une collègue de travail m'a raconté son histoire de mutilations génitales féminines et comment cette pratique culturelle a eu un impact psychologique et physique durable sur sa vie. Elle m’a détaillé comment elle a été excisée à l'âge de 14 ans et comment la plupart des femmes somaliennes de son âge sont encore couramment excisées, comme si cela était normal. J'ai commencé ma recherche et mon exploration d'un aspect de la culture africaine que j'ignorais.

Cela a conduit à la création de l'œuvre «Conversations» qui était un ensemble d'images conceptuelles sur la violence contre les femmes et son intersection avec la culture africaine. En découvrant ces aspects de mon patrimoine, j'ai pris conscience de l'impact durable d'un système patriarcal qui utilise la culture comme un outil pour assurer sa pérennité, en supprimant l'expression et la sexualité féminines. Dans les images, j'utilise les plantes et les fleurs comme expressions symboliques de la culture, représentant la beauté, la fragilité et le pouvoir destructeur, comparé au rôle de la culture dans les sociétés dominées par les hommes. Dans les images, j'ai créé des représentations symboliques des effets physiques et psychologiques de ces pratiques violentes de mutilation des organes génitaux féminins, de repassage des seins, de mariage d'enfants, d'esclavage sexuel. Les travaux ont été achevés en 2018.

L'œuvre est composée de 3 éditions chacune par taille.
