Mohamed Hamza

The open house idea is one of the best things about Made in Roath. If the title requires further explanation, it involves the people of Roath opening their homes for all to visit, hosting some sort of event or exhibition. We called into 32 Kelvin Rd to see Mohamed Hamza’s portraits, which are taken from his exhibition in the Butetown History & Arts Centre. 

 


















There is something inherently pleasing looking at art in someone else’s living room. I think it’s something to do with community spirit, realising that people are generally nice and trusting of you, making you feel nice and trustworthy when walking through their homes without grabbing their loose change or emptying their fridge. I will however admit to nosing at their book collection.

Our very own Rebecca had a chat with Nia, the mastermind behind the open houses at MiR. Read it here.

Made in Roath may have finished for this year but you can see the complete exhibition at the Butetown History & Arts Centre. You can find out more about Mohamed Hamza’s work here.
