Disorientation

Up-Coming show at P21 Gallery 30th April - 9th May 2025,

21-27 Chalton Street, London NW1 1JD 

The title Disorientation is a deliberate play on some of the ideas put forward in Edward Said’s seminal work Orientalism, principally his notions of cultural stereotypes, spurious authority and cultural imperialism. The word disorientation introduces the notion of confusion, a loss of ones sense of direction, a compass that no longer works, obliging the user to consider alternative directions and to navigate their own way through a landscape. The use of Arabic script in some of my work may be confusing, perhaps intriguing for a non-Arabic speaking audience, inviting that audience to look more closely at these images. This body of work is inspired and drawn from my own experiences of living and studying in the region.
