Hunna Art is excited to announce its representation of Aliyah Alawadhi, a UAE-based artist, writer, and curator. Alawadhi’s works explore the complexities of growing up in an ever-changing cultural and industrial environment. Her art delves into themes such as nostalgia, gender, mysticism, globalization, and internet culture. Alawadhi’s artistic world is vast and surreal, characterized by glitches, pastel colours, and references to Khaleeji culture and art history. Through her hyper-feminized characters, she juxtaposes mundane and surreal actions to capture the intricacies of her childhood and early adulthood in the United Arab Emirates. Alawadhi belongs to a generation that seamlessly merges the material and digital realms, actively engaging in online communities and using the internet as an escape and creative outlet.
