The Journey
The Camel Story

The camel also has its special value and significance in terms of transportation, assets and security risks.
Olfactory Memories
Since ancient times, people have loved to light up spices in mosques, wedding ceremonies, or in the rooms where guests are welcomed.

Tajweed
This zine is an exploration of how this Islamic heritage has migrated to the Muslim-minority country of England, and how present it is in the lives of children who have spent a majority of their formative years away from Somalia.

Stone Game

The end would be the most recurring story, creation of a storytelling space. "At dusk, everyone would hang out together. and children would play rock games."
