Born of Vesuvius and of the sea that washes the shores of Somalia, Halim Mohammed weaves distant and close roots into every verse and every frame. He began writing poetry at the age of eight, shortly after arriving in Italy, and one of his poems was later published in A scuola di legalità by Michele Del Gaudio. Theatre became his second language, performing works by Eduardo De Filippo and Antonio Petito, as well as roles such as Theseus in A Midsummer Night’s Dream and the Child in Waiting for Godot. As a poet, he published Caro colono under the name Not Your Negropolitan in the fanzine Antirazine. His path is deeply rooted in anti-racist activism, where art and social engagement intersect. Holding a degree in Economics, he works as a social worker. As a director and screenwriter, he created the decolonial documentary Lievete da Annanze ’O Sole (2025), which received a Special Audience Mention at Laceno d’Oro.
