Saida Mahamud-Tukri

Saida seeks to explore care as a collective and reparative act by tapping into the power of rest and radical self-care as a tool for resistance and decolonization. Saida chose Turkey, Bosnia, Mongolia, Malaysia, South Korea, Zanzibar, Rwanda, and Senegal. Many of the countries in her itinerary are chosen based on resonance that she finds in her own people’s history and culture, hoping to learn on a foundation of common ground. Themes like reconciliation, reconstruction, post-colonialism, pastoralism vs. technology, and religion are topics she hopes to investigate during her travels.
