Farah Al Qasimi’s artist room, part of the museum’s collection display, at the Tate Modern curated by Nabila Abdel Nabi and Bilal Akkouche.
November 2024 - October 2025
Tate Modern, London
The artworks shown offer glimpses into private moments in the homes and workplaces of Al Qasimi’s family and friends, detailing local communities and small businesses in New York and Abu Dhabi.
The images explore the enactment of gender roles in society, as well as the enduring legacy of British and Portuguese colonial influence in the United Arab Emirates. Al Qasimi also captures the dizzying effects of digital consumer culture through saturated colours and shimmering textures. Multiple forms of image-making layer upon each other, extending to the vinyl wallpapers which animate the photography and video work.
