Ayyam Gallery Dubai (DIFC) is pleased to present Shapeshifters and Transformations, a collective exhibition that brings together five leading artists from the Arab world. Highlighting works by Samia Halaby, Faisal Samra, Safwan Dahoul, Tammam Azzam, and Athier Mousawi, Shapeshifters and Transformations details the ways that artists are currently addressing exigent subject matter, including large-scale violence, the adverse effects of technology in the modern age, and changing landscapes. 

 

Approaching the concept of transformation from divergent perspectives, the featured artists use their respective media to describe moments when the body is altered, environments collapse, or regeneration unfolds.
