Book Waris Dirie with her exhibition Mogadishu Blues
Our founder comes to you with selected pictures
Waris Dirie has also passionately devoted herself to painting for years.
Waris Dirie's colourful paintings have already been successfully shown at exhibitions in Paris and Munich.
The renowned Bank Austria Kunstforum in the cultural capital of Vienna is showing new works by our founder for the first time in April 2025. In Mogadishu Blues, with its poetic and colourful paintings, Waris Dirie looks deep into her soul and at the same time comes to terms with her past.
Mogadishu Blues is an explosion of colour in which the ghosts and demons of Waris Dirie's life in Somalia meet her unshakeable faith and will to survive. The paintings symbolise her power and strength to fight against all odds, to overcome obstacles and to shout an unmistakable YES to life into the world.
You have the unique opportunity to book the Mogadishu Blues exhibition as a complete package. And Waris Dirie will of course come to the vernissage, sign fine art prints and be available for interviews with the press.
