Noun Abdelaziz and Fatuma “Uma” Fadhil hope their Abundance of Youth collective will offer a seat at the table to San Diegans in underserved communities
Speaking with Noun Abdelaziz and Fatuma “Uma” Fadhil, one can’t help but walk away feeling inspired. The artists behind Abundance of Youth , a collective and community-based project in City Heights, are something of the perfect combination of both dreaming and doing. “Personally, I was always the type of artist who has been backstage, so for me, the immediate first connection to AOY was this idea of having a platform,” explained Fadhil, who has a lifelong passion for photography and publishing.
Both Abdelaziz and Fadhil see the value in a more democratic process when it comes to the local art scene — one in which more voices can be heard and underrepresented communities have a seat at the table. “San Diego can be a very slow city, but it is filled with really cool people. You just have to outreach and find them,” says Abdelaziz. “I think what we wanted AOY to be, unlike other collectives, we want to find those creatives but also have their identities play a role in it.
