Saudi Arabia’s Incredible Art Exhibition Features Local Female Artists

And MBS that endorses it!

Established by Saudi Arabia’s Crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, the Misk Art Foundation, which falls under the Misk Foundation, has just launched “Imprint” which is a digital, film, photography presentation. The exhibition has been curated by Latifa Abdul Rahman Al Khalifa and features some incredible works by Middle Eastern artists, including 17 from Saudi Arabia, including Saudi women. 

“Imprint” will run until 28th January 2021 and is situated at the Prince Faisal bin Fahd Fine Arts Gallery. The Misk Art foundation has an agenda to promote local culture and offer support to the Saudi arts and creative community. The foundation looks to help them develop and produce their works whilst giving them a strong platform to be able to offer them exposure both within Saudi Arabia and internationally. 

The exciting modern art exhibition features works by artists from Saudi and other GCC countries who are exploring themes of identity within four subcategories: the past and memory, a deconstruction of the self, connections with nature and mindful reflections, in a variety of mediums including film, photography and digital forms. These are some of the participating female Saudi Arabian artists to watch out for at the exhibition:
