This June I took part in The Garden of Tomorrow Festival via the Nature The Artist exhibition curated by The Great Imaging (Gavin and Deborah Turk association) in collaboration with Hard Art Collective (Brian Eno Studio). It brought together the works of over 50 different artists, writers and musicians who use their creativity to honour the natural world.  The festival was organised by House of Hackney.  

I also took part in a group exhibition at  Marie Jose Gallery, organised by Daughters for Earth co-directed by Iraqi American women’s rights activist, writer, television show host, and podcaster Zainab Salbi. The exhibition was part of the Kensington + Chelsea Art Week. 

I am thrilled to be part of METAMORPHOSIS, a group exhibition curated by Lily Waterton that will run from the 25th of May to the 29th of July at Saatchi Gallery. Here are some install shots of works from The Pigment Change series. 

Some of the installation shots have been taken by Harry Sweeney. 

I am very excited to share that I am taking part in the exhibition “Natures Vivantes Images et imaginaires des jardins d’Albert Kahn”, focusing on the museum’s collection but also including works from contemporary artists Lia Giraud, Baptiste Rabichon, Kristof Vranken, Terri Weiffenbach and me. It will run from the 30th of April to the end of the year, I can’t wait to see it!

I am delighted to be included in Sarabande’s 2024 International Women’s Day exhibition curated by Shirin Fathi. The exhibition includes works from Sarabande 2024 artists and alumni. For the occasion, I created a new artwork from my Family Album series depicting my best friend from childhood Leticia, who died in November 2023 as a victim of domestic violence. With this artwork, I wanted to celebrate the life of my friend and bring attention to violence against women as a quiet but omnipresent reality affecting 1 in 3 women in the world according to a 2018 analysis from the World Health Organization.
