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.
