Farah Al Qasimi’s () work is on view now in the United Arab Emirates national pavilion at the Venice Biennale.
Curated by Bana Kattan (), Curator and Associate Head of Exhibitions at the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi Project, with Assistant Curator Tala Nassar (), the exhibition brings together intergenerational and interdisciplinary practices to expand on themes of migration, technology, oral histories, and the relationship between language, body, and identity. These histories reveal the UAE not as a fixed cultural form, but as a space shaped by mobility, correspondence, and layered forms of listening across land and sea. Al Qasimi’s layered installation conveys the uncanny geography of an interconnected world.
