Fascinating cultural lens
I'm always drawn to exhibitions that show how the sea connects us rather than divides. The focus on sensory experiences like scent and sound feels so rich-art should hit more than just the eyes.
Hayy Jameel exhibition brings Red Sea histories to life
JEDDAH: Hayy Jameel is putting on “Red Wind, Coral Worlds,” an exhibition exploring the histories, cultures and ecological relationships that have connected communities across the Red Sea, East Africa and the Indian Ocean for centuries. Curated by Huda Tayob and Miriam Hillawi Abraham, recipients of the Art Jameel Curatorial Open Call, the exhibition opened on May 20 and will continue until Oct. 26. It brings together contemporary artworks, historical objects and archival materials to examine the Red Sea as a dynamic space of exchange rather than a geographical boundary.
