Sharing their stories to UK-based collectors and art enthusiasts, their first exhibit has been carefully curated to showcase the work of nine artists from across the region. Together the pieces explore the fundamental question as to whether art should be defined by its maker or made to be interpreted.
Particularly poignant in the Middle East for female creators as external factors like patriarchal systems, cultural expectations and societal perceptions beyond their control can manipulate the answer to this query.
