Item Description
Destination Djibouti, 2022, Oil on canvas, 24 ” x 36 ” / huile sur toile, 24 po x 36 po
Destination Djibouti is about Abdourahman and her family’s relationship with “home” in Djibouti and the difficulties that arise when finally attempting to return “home.” For both first-generation Canadians and migrants, this can be a trip of healing, self-care, and rest. However, visiting the homeland is a privilege and not accessible to everyone.
Destination Djibouti traite de la relation d'Abdourahman et de sa famille avec leur « chez-soi » à Djibouti et des difficultés qui surgissent lorsqu'ils tentent de rentrer chez eux. Pour les Canadiens de première génération comme pour les migrants, il peut s'agir d'un voyage de guérison, de soins personnels et de repos. Visiter la patrie est cependant un privilège et n'est pas accessible à tout le monde.
