Saudi artists bring fresh perspective to London exhibition

People are sitting in a little room watching some films; for many of the viewers what they are seeing is quite a revelation. The highly creative short videos show a picture of the Gulf from a thought-provoking, fantastical and often very funny perspective. A message that shines through from a film called Pixels is how prejudice is universal and how doors can be slammed in the face of anyone whose appearance or views do not conform to mainstream norms. The films are enjoyable to watch because they hold up a mirror to the frailties and conceits of our shared humanity.
The makeshift cinema is in the Brunei Gallery, SOAS University of London. The films being screened are part of an exhibition called ‘In Search of Lost Time’ presented in association with the Brunei Gallery by the British Council and curated by Abed Al-Kadiri, Amal Khalaf and Saudi artist Abdulnasser Gharem. The exhibition is the culmination of four years of cultural exchange between artists in the UK and the Gulf.
The leading Saudi contemporary artist, Abdulnasser Gharem, founder of Gharem Studio, Riyadh, curated the Gharem Studio Installation for the exhibition.
