WE WILL MEET AGAIN IN PARADISE
Ikram Abdulkadir – Sven and Ellida Hjort\u2019s grant exhibition
January 24\u2013February 23, 2020
Opening: January 24, 6-9 pm<\/p>\n

Ikram Abdulkadir has been sharing her pictures on the Instagram account @ikramianism<\/a> since 2017. Now for the first time, she is presenting her work in a solo exhibition at Sk\u00e5nes konstf\u00f6rening.<\/p>\n

We Will Meet Again in Paradise is a photographic series produced specifically for this occasion. Friendship and sisterhood are at the core of Abdulkadir\u2019s art practice \u2013 a sense of belonging forged through the experience of being a young black Muslim woman. Her use of composition, color and light foregrounds the wisdom and strength of those she portrays. With We Will Meet Again in Paradise, Abdulkadir makes a subtle tribute to her ancestors while celebrating the beauty of her loved ones. In this way she inscribes herself in a history of collective resistance: an act of self-affirmation where young Muslims are depicted on their own terms.<\/p>\n

In connection with We Will Meet Again in Paradise, Ikram Abdulkadir will release a publication edited and designed by Naima Bashir from Sakina Magazine. It includes contributions by Liban Abdule and Matthew Rana. The release date will be announced shortly.<\/p>\n
