The Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum, University of Minnesota will present an exhibition named 'Stories of the Somali Diaspora: Photographs by Abdi Roble'
The exhibition will run from June 20 to September 13, 2009.
Somali-born photographer Abdi Roble has documented the Somali diaspora for fifteen years. This exhibition presents some fifty black and white photographs that depict themes of dependence (refugee camp), reliance (arrival), and participation (assimilation).
The exhibition traces one family’s path from the Dadaab refugee camp in Kenya to their arrival in Anaheim, California and subsequent resettlement in Portland, Maine.
Also included are works from Minneapolis and Columbus, Ohio, the country's two largest Somali immigrant communities. -- www.weisman.umn.edu
