9 Nov 2024 - 15 Dec 2024
Fictional Landscapes, a groundbreaking exhibition showcasing 28 women artists across five galleries and led by three curators, is set to make its debut in Dubai on November 9th, running through December 15th, 2024. Fictional Landscapes will be opening at Foundry, Downtown Dubai.
Fictional Landscapes brings together artists from the UAE, Russia, Iran, Armenia, India, Pakistan, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Indonesia, Iceland, USA and more. These artists who live and work across the globe, look at landscapes — urban, imagined, natural and artificial — as a profound reflection of personal and collective experiences.
28 women artists gather spatial narratives, each bound by the powerful, collective lens of womanhood. Through this exhibition, the female perspective takes centre stage, celebrating resilience, beauty, and strength in every stroke and sculpture.
By using the theme of landscape, the artist’s transcend current geopolitical boundaries and address critical social motifs, making Fictional Landscapes a compelling exploration of unique visions in an ever-changing world. This exhibition is curated by a distinguished team including Nadine Khalil, Alisa Bagdonaite, and Serafima Kostrova, and is organised by women-led galleries.
