Moza Al Falasi: Unfolding

This first solo exhibition by the Emirati artist explores memory, loss, and the passing of time, inviting reflection on how personal and inherited experiences leave their mark on who we are. She uses photography as her primary means of documentation, alongside sound, painting, plaster, and fabric.

Says Al Falasi:“My work is deeply rooted in the complexities of inherited grief – the sorrow passed down through generations, shaping identity in both visible and unseen ways … This inquiry became more profound following the loss of my parents and, more recently, my husband, compelling me to examine grief not only as a personal experience but as an inherited weight that alters our inner landscapes. My art has become a means to navigate both the emotions of loss and the complexities of life, revealing the deeply personal and collective experience of grief. Whether my practice serves as a form of healing or a visual documentation of grief remains uncertain.”

The exhibition is the culmination of her time with the Tashkeel Critical Practice Programme, developing her practice across both research and production under the mentorship of Luisa Menano and Hanaa Bou Hamdan (the CCP provides UAE-based artists with 12 months’ funding, studio access, and mentorship).

To 26 June.
