AFRA AL DHAHERI’S STUDIO VISIT IN MUSAFFAH, ABU DHABI
Afra Al Dhaheri’s work is rooted in her experiences growing up in Abu Dhabi and the wider UAE – a place of recent and rapid change. Working across various mediums including mixed media, sculpture, drawing, painting, installation, photography, and printmaking, she draws out notions of time and adaptation, rigor and fragility.
Born in 1988 in Abu Dhabi, UAE, Al Dhaheri obtained her MFA from Rhode Island School of Design, USA in 2017 and had her residencies from The Salama bint Hamdan Emerging Artists Fellowship, in partnership with the Rhode Island School of Design in 2014 and Porthmeor Studios, St. Ives, Cornwall, UK (2019).
She took part in different selected group exhibitions in UAE, USA, England, Belgium and Saudi Arabia since 2011, and had 2 solo shows in Dubai and Boston USA in 2021 and 2016
