Sarah El Meheiri: Read Between The Lines

The Radical Contemporary Podcast

In this episode our founder Nour Hassan speaks to Emirati artist and poet Sarah Almehairi.
Born in 1998, is a practicing artist from Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, and an Art and Art History major at New York University Abu Dhabi, class of 2019. Al Mehairi expresses herself in different mediums, including mixed media, sculpture, painting, book art, and fiber art. Her art explores the themes of identity, language, materiality and memory through narrative work as well as abstraction. Al Mehairi also authors poetry that inspire and are incorporated in her artwork. Her works challenge conventional modes of artistic production and questions the cultural and social constructs of traditional artistic practices.
She has worked with Shoofi Art Calendar, interned with Abu Dhabi Art and the NYUAD Art Gallery. Al Mehairi has been a part of the 2019 Youth Takeover group show at Jameel Arts Centre, Tashkeel’s 2019 group exhibition “Play”, exhibited at the CultureSummit Abu Dhabi 2018, the 35th Annual Emirates Fine Art Society Exhibition in 2018, and exhibited her final capstone solo show in NYUAD’s Project Space titled “Between”.
Sarah is also the co-founder of Jara Collective and a cycling trainer at one of our favorite studios in the UAE CRANK.
