OVERVIEW

Soimadou Ibrahim (French, b. 1989 and currently based in London, England) grew up in Ngazidja, the biggest island of the Comoros archipelago, until the age of 10. Ibrahim’s paintings feature his grandmother, family, and close friends who still live in Comoros, portraying the strength of his family bond and the community he was raised in. Ibrahim also reassesses the complexities of history and race by questioning his own “Frenchness” in relation to the island’s colonial past under French occupation
