LAMYA GARGASH

KUN: TO BE

2 NOV 2024 – 10 JAN 2025

Kun, meaning "to be," marks Lamya Gargash’s first solo exhibition with the Maraya Art Centre. The title reflects the exploration of a liminal state—existing between different phases of being, where transitions occur from one state of mind to another. Through her work, Gargash delves into spirituality, transformation, and the human journey.


Kun will forge a unique bond, connecting the cities of Sharjah, Dubai, London, and Bath through carefully curated gold draping. The Kiblah compass symbolizes spirituality, direction, and unity and will anchor this project and guide Gargash's work.


Gargash aims to create an intervention that evokes a sense of journey, path, and guidance and fosters a deep understanding of connectivity. This intervention will be a long gold fabric integrated into the various spaces curated by the compass and its direction. The gold fabric will drape and cover any element crossing its path, concealing them.


Kun at Maraya Art Centre is curated by Cima Azzam.
