Westerville Central junior Faduma Hasan recently won a photography scholarship sponsored by the Dublin Arts Council as part of an exhibition titled Urur Dhex-Dhexad Ah/Community in Between. She got to take part in a three-day workshop with Toronto artist Riya Jama and took portraits that were featured at an exhibit in July and in a forthcoming publication. Urur Dhex-Dhexad Ah/Community in Between is a project exploring community-building among young Somalis in Columbus.
Hasan’s father introduced her to photography at a young age and ever since, it has captured her imagination. She enjoys taking pictures of friends and fashion.
