Current Exhibition
DR. MOHAMED YOUSIF & MAGGIE OTIENO
SOLACE IN SOIL
31 MAY – 6 OCT 2024
Solace in soil is an exploration of the bipartite connection of artists’ and their mediums of choice where both Maggie Otieno (Nairobi, Kenya) and Dr. Mohamed Yousif (Sharjah, United Arab Emirates) are presented together for the first time. Despite geographical and cultural backgrounds, a common thread presented is found in their relation to the earth and the creative process expressed through multifaceted and distinct portrayals. Solace, in the social context of contemporary times is limited within the understandings of human sentiments. In the context of this exhibition, it is an interchange between the creator, the creation, and their environment. How does the craft allow for an understanding of life and sentiments that transcend traditional manners of tangible expression?
