This exhibition presents projects by 12 of the participants in 421\u2019s Homebound Residency Program, which ran annually from spring 2020 to fall 2023; it is both a celebration of the work produced during the programme and an acknowledgement of the importance of community in artistic practice.<\/p>\n
Throughout the programme, artists, curators, researchers, and cultural workers came together digitally during the pandemic to support each other and to provide for generative conversations, critique, and creative experimentation. The title \u2018network culture’ is also a nod to the historical phenomena we are witnessing today \u2013 an increasingly interconnected world that is shaped and influenced by the digital.<\/p>\n
The works featured are by Yara Asmar, Mona Ayyash, BaRiya<\/strong> (above), Raghvi Bhatia, Kimia Collective (Chahine Fellahi <\/strong>and Ka\u00efs A\u00efouch), Nihaal Faizal, Batool Desouky and Zain Mahjoub, Engy Mohsen, Roger Mokbel, Fatma Belk\u0131s and Onur G\u00f6kmen, Mahshid Rafiei, Ayesha Singh, <\/strong>and Salem Al Suwaidi<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The exhibition also acts as a departure point for future artists who will be part of a new residency programme which will take place in winter 2024 at our new artist studios here in Abu Dhabi.<\/p>\n To 28 April.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
