GQ Middle East highlights Hisham Sharif’s Allusive Veil at Ayyam Gallery among the best exhibitions to see across the MENA region this September.

 

The feature explores Sharif’s deeply personal and voyeuristic scenes, where hazy interiors, mirrors, expressive colour, and Persian-inspired animal symbolism blur the boundaries between memory, imagination, tradition, and desire. Allusive Veilis on view from 23 September to 30 October 2026.
