Current Exhibitions
Go Back to Move Forward
Curatorial Class Exhibition
"Go Back to Move Forward" presents artworks by fourteen artists who grapple with an unsettling past, a turbulent present, and an imagined future. These artists navigate the socio-political landscapes of the Arab world and reimagine reality through collective memory.
Upcoming Exhibitions
Intimaa: Belonging
Curated by Emirati arts researcher Nasser Abdullah, "Intimaa: Belonging" will feature new commissions by UAE-based emerging artists who question their place in an era of globalization and how society has formed a unified existence that can be referred to as a ‘universal identity’

Laura Schneider: Thymesis

Rand Abdul Jabbar: Earthly Wonders, Celestial Beings
"Earthly Wonders, Celestial Beings" conceives of Iraq as a spatial, rather than territorial construct, setting up a conversation across the past and present in the language of reverberating forms.
