Ahaad Alamoudi’s first institutional solo exhibition brings together works from the last eight years, with a new commission, ‘Moving Mountains’, as its centrepiece. This ambitious new work continues Alamoudi’s expansive exploration of rapidly changing social and cultural environments, situating Saudi’s natural and urban landscapes as sites of possibility –  punctured by effort and powered by fantasy – where both individual and collective attempts to do the seemingly impossible are imbued with humour, absurdity and, at times, hopefulness.

Art Jameel, inviting practitioners from both local and global contexts, is hosting a series of talks, screenings, and discussions on October 18th to open dialogue around the exhibition’s broader themes. These discussions will explore the nature of shifting urban and natural landscapes, image-making practices and their dissemination, collaborative approaches in staging and direction, and the role of gender and performativity within these frameworks. By including contributions from like-minded practitioners such as Adrien Lahoud and Rut Blees Luxemburg, these conversations aim to extend the exhibition into a wider inquiry on infrastructural transformation and an evolving social landscape
