On Friday 25 Oct 2024, at 7.45pm as part of Somali weekend at the London literature festival at the Southbank centre,
Two trailblazing Somali women writers, Yasmin Mohamed Kahin and Asha Lul Mohamud Yusuf, confront pivotal questions and challenges through their poetry…
‘Does anyone survive to question the essence of being Somali?’
Poet, playwright and filmmaker Yasmin Mohamed Kahin, and star of the Somali poetry diaspora Asha Lul Mohamud Yusuf, reflect on this question and more through poetry and writings, which they share alongside their English translators.
Visiting the UK for the first time, Yasmin Mohamed Kahin is a breakthrough author whose work is rooted in the social issues of her birthplace, exploring migration, mental health, and the marginalisation of women and young people.
This event premieres the first English translations of Kahin’s work by acclaimed writers Maxamed Xasan ‘Alto’ and Anna Selby.
