About Mohamad
Mohamad comes from a small city near Damascus, Syria. Before leaving his home country, he studied mathematics at Damascus University. Forced to flee, he first sought refuge in Libya, where he worked for a year and a half before eventually making his way to Germany. Since arriving in Germany as a refugee, Mohamad has been deeply involved in community and human rights initiatives.
In April 2016, he collaborated with Lorna to create the “Why We’re Here” tour, and the following year, he and Nehad launched the “In Someone Else’s Shoes” workshop. Mohamad is also a proud member of the Daseinsfreunde team. Currently, he works with Mnemonic on the Syrian Archive project, documenting human rights violations.
What Mohamad loves most about Berlin is its diversity: “It seems that every district in Berlin has its own identity, which makes it a place where anybody can find themselves and their niche.”
