Numbi Arts
Numbi Arts is an English arts and heritage organisation based in London. Founded by a multi-disciplinary Somali artist, Kinsi Abdulleh, Numbi provides opportunities for local communities to engage with Somali histories, to better understand how British Somali experiences have been collected, stored and disseminated by cultural institutions. It is in this spirit that Numbi launched the first Somali Museum in Europe.
Numbi is a healing dance that happens in Somalia where one lets go of one’s inhibitions and gets free. It is that ethos, with the emphasis on freedom, that inspired Numbi founder, Kinsi Abdulleh, to set up the organisation. Her vision is to provide a platform for collaborative cross-cultural exchange for artists working in theatre, visual arts/ photography, music/dance and film – that draws from the experience of Somali communities around the world.
