| 'emirian' at 'departures', nomad abu dhabi . 2025 |
it's been quite a nice surprise to find out that two of my artworks are being exhibited during the month of november!
'the palm tree of life', is currently on view at the newly launched house of arts, located in expo city dubai. the artwork is included in the group exhibition 'interwoven', which opened on 17 november 2025 and runs until the end of 2026. the artwork was originally commissioned and produced in 2019 for the 1971 design space group exhibition 'fashcultivate', curated by fatma al mahmoud and khulood bin thani (see more here).
'emirian' is part of the group exhibition 'departures' at nomad abu dhabi, located at the old terminal 1 at zayed international airport. the exhibition runs from 19 – 21 november 2025. 'emirian' was originally commissioned by uae unlimited in 2016 for the group exhibition 'al haraka baraka: in movement there is blessing' at maraya art centre, curated by ali macgilp (see more here).
it's such a treat to see these artworks exhibited after so many years. as both these works belong to private collections, it felt like a reunion with old friends. thank you 'interwoven' curator alia al shamsi and 'departures' curator aleksi afanasiev for including my works in your shows, and to the 1971 design space and uae unlimited teams for loaning the works from their collections.
