AYESHA HADHIR

Painting a portrait of her community through gathering and constructing objects, Ayesha Hadhir selects everyday objects – some antiques, others with personal memories – that she integrates into her installations to give the audience insight into an Emirati domestic setting. The definition of community for Ayesha is not only limited to modern times: she has an inherited sense of how community was like in the past, especially in relation to the rituals of womanhood.
