CRAFTSMANSHIP IS WHAT SKILLED ARTISTS AND BUILDERS DEMONSTRATE WHEN THEY CREATE SOMETHING

The skill of creativity is an imperative part of this collection’s curation.

Artistry transcends through continents, cultures and time. It is something powerful that has always been present in the world, and continues to innovate. This metamorphosis is echoed in this curation, where we begin with photographs through a non-colonial lens in the 50’s, through to hand sewn panels inspired by the traditional Emirati technique, known as Talli, glamorous and opulent fabrics from de Gournay, to modern day conceptual artists such as El Anatsui and Maggie Otieno.

Although these heritages exist from different time periods and locations, they are all an ode to craftsmanship and aptitude of tactile materials. The unparalleled view of capturing moments in time that are authentic and local are at the forefront of these works.

This curation allows you to explore heritage, appreciate materials that are anthropological and share depth, while all being bound by excellence in their craft.
