XXI Arr.
About me
RKA
Hallo, I’m Ragia Kaja Abdulwahed.
I’m Afro-Italian, I was born in the heart of Bologna but raised in the suburb.
I’m a former #telefonoazzurro( Italian association providing support to abused children in Italy, ed) and a #metoo- as a child and as a young girl.
I’ve always been very lucky.

Work
XXI Arrondissement
Paris, where I often hang around for working reasons, has 20 Arrondissements. Bologna, where I live, used to have 18, now it has 9.
The XXIst Arr. did not even exist ‘till a few months ago.
I have reached the XXI without GPS, as I created it/ or it created itself on its own (cause to be honest, the dynamics about this process aren’t clear yet to me either)..
