In collaboration with Oxford House, Join us for an energising and inspiring evening with Awo Abdi, a dynamic force in London’s contemporary art scene.
This special in-conversation event offers a unique window into Awo’s creative world—from her bold exhibitions to the everyday moments that spark her imagination. She’ll share insights about her artistic journey, the stories behind her favourite works, and what it’s like to create commissioned pieces, including her ongoing partnership with Oxford House.
The evening also includes exclusive access to Awo Abdi’s art gallery on-site, where guests can view—and purchase—original works that reflect her bold creative vision.
Awo Abdi is a multidisciplinary artist working across mixed media, digital art, and spatial storytelling. Her practice interrogates cultural memory, identity, and ancestral legacy—bridging architectural precision with intimate personal narratives.Trained in architecture, Awo brings a designer's rigour to visual storytelling, evident in her debut solo exhibition Fortune Through Lineage (Manchester, 2025)—a poignant exploration of Somali heritage and familial connection. Her ongoing Digital Postcard Series reimagines Somali cities as collectible prints and wearable art, proving the commercial power of culture-driven design.Beyond the gallery, Awo works as a UX designer, applying her cross-disciplinary ethos to create immersive, human-centred experiences.Explore her work: [awoabdi.com]
