Many of Farah's pieces – some of them up to 200 years old and ranging from jewelry to hand picks to a shield made of rhino-hide – will be featured at the exhibit, highlighting through different mediums the culture and history of Somali people in Canada. "Growing up in Canada, you go to museums and the work that's on display is often European," Farah said. "So to see Somali artwork on display is incredible."Ayan Bashir is one of those artists.
