And After: Wind and its Stillness

When 9 October 2025 – 5 April 2026
Where Cultural Foundation, First Floor, Abu Dhabi

And After explores the element of air and its various states through the lens of Arabic terminology, specifically "Sukoon", "Hawaa", "Naseem", and "Riyah". In Arabic, "Sukoon" symbolises stillness and the pause between movement, while "Hawaa" refers to the gentle, everyday state of air.

The exhibition examines how these elemental states influence our environments and internal rhythms, encouraging visitors to contemplate the moments of pause and transformation.

Featuring mixed-media works by 15 artists, And After reflects on the quiet intervals between inhale and exhale, where change quietly begins to unfold. The exhibition invites audiences to reconnect with the subtleties of their natural surroundings and the shifts brought by seasonal transitions.
