Gouled Abdishakour Ahmed is an Addis Ababa based Somali visual artist, stylist, costume designer and writer. Their work explores the themes of memory and belonging through the lens of self portrait photography and self fashioning. Their ongoing self portrait series One Day These Names Will Be Ours explores the gaps that exist within formal language in the understanding, and contextualization of gender expressions that exist outside of the binary. Gouled's work deals with the notion of futurity, and is heavily aimed at envisioning new & equitable aesthetic futures for the Horn of Africa.⁠
