This exhibition represents a culmination of a year-long engagement in the Salama bin Hamdan Emerging Artists program (SEAF).  The Salama bint Hamdan Al Nahyan Foundation (SHF), in partnership with the Rhode Island School of Design, welcomes a group of emerging artists from across the UAE to participate in this unique educational program designed to encourage and foster artistic growth and development.

Hafez Gallery will present a group show that focuses on Islamic art and includes works by Saudi and Saudi-based artists Rashed AlShashai, Sara AlAbdali, Ali Chaban, Khalid Zahid, Nojoud AlSudairi and Lulwah Al Homoud. All artists participating in this show present works about their own contemporary interpretations of the exhibition’s theme, with works in various media from calligraphy to illustration, mixed media and installation.
