This exhibition features a selection of artworks by Arab artists from one of the largest and most diverse private collections of art in the Arab world. Memory Sews Together Events That Hadn’t Previously Met Works from the Barjeel Art Foundation reflects the collector Sultan Sooud Al Qassemi’s interest in the ways that Arab artists have responded to historical events and to their corresponding impact on human life over the course of a tumultuous century.
In contrast with focused temporary shows, this long-term installation offers the chance for repeated visits and for comparative study of the styles, techniques, and themes of artworks that have shaped art practices in Arab countries for more than a century.
