Fauziya Johnson
b.1997
Fauziya Johnson is a Somali-Dominican queer curator, artist and producer based in Manchester. Fauziya creates with a focus on current social and political issues through community-centred workshops, art projects, and exhibitions. Her work creates thought-provoking, engaging and trusted spaces for the public to engage in, making collective care, deconstructing harmful systems, and activism the core of the work for marginalised groups, in particular Queer, Black and disabled communities. Her every day role is as a Community Engagement Advisor.
Fauziya's purpose through curation and facilitation is to create trust-based engagement within different scales of community groups - linked by place, circumstance, or characteristics. She extends her practice by designing and leading workshops to co-produce with local groups and expand on collective care.
​
Topics she has worked within are: debt abolishment, food empowerment (examining industrialisation), archiving and nostalgia, anti-racism, Northern pub and club cultures, mental health/embodied healing and more.
In 2018, she co-founded ROOT-ed Zine, a zine and social platform dedicated to supporting, promoting and inspiring creatives of colour in the North West. She is currently on the board of Trustees for Broken Grey Wires CIC and has previously been a Trustee for Metal Culture CIC.
