Esmaa Mohamoud height - How tall is Esmaa Mohamoud?

From 2017-2018, Mohamoud collaborated with Qendrim Hoti to create and photograph sculptures that are designed to be worn by black, male-presenting models. In One of the Boys, men and women wear custom-made ball gown jerseys, thus pointing to gender fluidity and race through their use of fashion. Mohamoud uses Vince Carter’s Raptors jerseys for the top half of the gown and the bottom half is a beautiful puffy dress. The jersey itself is not of the usual sports mesh, but is made of velvet and contains corset lacings on both sides an allusion both to basketball through the use of shoelaces and to high fashion through the use of corseted tops. Some of the models can be seen wearing jewelry such as earrings, rings, necklaces, colorful hair ties, braids, and tattoos. Amanda Parris points out that some of the models in this series face away from the camera or conversely they stare directly at it, something Mohamoud terms the “power stance."

Mohamoud graduated from Western University with a Bachelor's in fine art in 2014 and later from Ontario College of Art and Design University, in June 2016, with a master's degree in fine arts. Her art focuses on interrogating issues around black masculinity culturally in sports (in the NBA and NFL) and politically in North American society at large. She creates sculptures, photography, and drawings to bring awareness to and to expose these specific issues in today's society. Mohamoud's outstanding notable works include exhibits One of the Boys, Heavy, Heavy (Hoop Dreams), Glorious Bones, Blood and Tears Instead of Milk and Honey, A Seat Above the Table, Untitled (No Fields) Why See the World When You’ve Got the Beach?, Chain Gang, I Am Series, and Unholy Matrimony.
