'Gentle Porosities'
Hunna Art Gallery’s Inaugural Space Opening with Mashael Alsaie's Solo Show
Hunna Art is thrilled to announce the opening of its first permanent space within one of Kuwait’s most exciting cultural spaces, the Design District Center. This significant milestone reaffirms the gallery’s commitment to championing the voices of contemporary women artists from the Arabian Peninsula and its diasporas, while fostering dialogues that challenge and expand contemporary art practices.
The gallery’s inaugural exhibition, opening on October 23, 2024, will present a solo show by Bahraini multimedia artist Mashael Alsaie.
Titled Gentle Porosities, Alsaie's debut solo exhibition in Kuwait engages critically with the intertwined histories of patriarchal dominance and ecological degradation, reframing the landscape as a space of both vulnerability and resistance. Her practice mourns the loss of empathy for the land, and through this exhibition, she issues a muster call to revive a mythological consciousness that could renew our fractured relationship with the Earth.
After three years operating as a digital and nomadic gallery, Hunna Art’s new space will serve as a dynamic platform for research-driven and experimental art exhibitions and projects. It will also act as a hub for global curatorial engagement, fostering meaningful dialogue around the region’s complex narratives and resonate within global cultural dialogues.
