Muhubo Suleiman's passion for preserving her cultural heritage continues to inspire her work, involving the creation of brightly coloured hand woven rugs, bags and wall sculptures that incorporate traditional Somali weaving techniques.

She is a Somali weaver and educator and came to Australia in 2003 from a small town near Galkayo in Somalia. Suleiman learnt these weaving techniques from her mother at age five; this work was invaluable to the survival of families; the huts provided safety and shelter as portable homes for these nomadic communities. She currently hosts Traditional Weaving workshops at the Community Grocer in Carlton and workshops at the Collingwood Neighbourhood House, Kathleen Syme Library and Community Centre Weavers and Spinners Guild and in 2019 is also an Artist in Residence at Yarra City Arts. Her work was exhibited at the ATW in the 2019 exhibition ‘Place Makers’.
