Art Asia Pacific writes about Alserkal Avenue’s Déjà Vu exhibition in one of their recent articles, highlighting how the show brought together more than 50 artists and 20 galleries to explore themes of memory, migration, displacement, and cultural inheritance.⁠

Through works that reflect uncertainty, repetition, and the fragility of perception, the exhibition became a collective response to the present moment and the evolving realities shaping the region’s cultural landscape.⁠

The article features Rula Halawani among the artists shaping these conversations through deeply personal and politically charged visual narratives.⁠
