How to Avoid, Reject, or Dismantle the Colonial Gaze

The Anarchist Citizenship is an ongoing research-based project that reflects on contemporary visual and oral culture in Somaliland. It was initiated in 2016 by curator Amal Alhaag and artist Nadine Stijns and developed in collaboration with Somali artists such as Mustafa Saeed, along with other thinkers, architects and activists.

Over the years, The Anarchist Citizenship has taken on different guises. It is a meeting place for local and diasporic artists, filmmakers, architects and designers who together investigate how Somali(land) people define citizenship and shape identity through visual culture.

Together with collaborators and contributors Kinsi Abdulleh, Rashid Ali, Abdullah Barre, Salman Dirir, Sumia Juxun, Elmi Original, Mustafa Saeed and The Somali Museum UK, Amal Alhaag and Nadine Stijns will present a special The Anarchist Citizenship programme. Consisting of a visual installation, a screening and public gatherings that explore the complexities and joys of Somali social life, memory work and the ways communities create alternative ways of being together as survival strategies.
