Marking the opening of ‘Seas are sweet, fish tears are salty’, join us for an engaging conversation with Mohammad Alfaraj as he shares insights into his first institutional solo exhibition. In dialogue with the show’s curator Rotana Shaker, they will explore the artists’ multidisciplinary practice and the exhibition’s connections to both the real and imagined worlds of Alfaraj’s photography, video, poetry and sculptures.
The talk will be followed by a 10 minutes reflective performance in the exhibition space of ‘The Missing Piece’ by Mohammad Alfaraj.
Mohammad Alfaraj (b.1993, lives and works in Al-Ahsa, Saudi Arabia) is a multidisciplinary artist whose work spans film, photography, sculpture, writing and installation. Growing up in Al-Ahsa, a desert oasis, Alfaraj’s art is deeply influenced by the region’s unique landscapes and traditions. His work often explores the relationship between humans, nature and the environment, drawing inspiration from local stories, oral traditions and everyday life. Alfaraj employs a diverse range of materials, including indigenous elements like palm fronds and dates, as well as found objects and waste, which hold spiritual significance and act as capsules of time and memory.
Curated by Art Jameel’s Rotana Shaker, Curator at Hayy Jameel. The exhibition gathers works from the Art Jameel Collection, and includes new commissions.
