Where Is Professor Fresh?
PLOT Gallery| 3730 Chicago Ave S; Suite A, 2025 | 7:00pm CST
An evocative exhibition featuring Somali painter Mohamed Hersi and Liberian painter Flahn Manly, My Brother’s Keeper: War Babies explores the lives and legacies of artists born amid the civil wars of Somalia and Liberia in the 1990s. Part of a generation often called “War Babies,” their lives were shaped by violence, displacement, and diaspora.
This exhibition is both a personal testimony and a historical reflection—tracing the rupture of ancestral legacies and the resilience born in their aftermath. Through color, form, and portraiture, Hersi and Manly reclaim what was lost and reimagine what can be built.
