I am currently an emerging artist. Fostering new relationships, conversations around my art practice will further my career both practically and logistically. My practice is contingent on interaction and conversation as it concerns itself with the human experience at its center, thus it’s important to continue having meaningful conversations. It was also allow me to further the opportunities I may gain in the future as a result of these relationships made (such as signing with a gallery, showing in more exhibitions yearly etc.)

I’d like to feel a stronger sense of community, this kind of initiative is not available in the UAE currently, and I think it’s a wonderful way to cultivate a community that provides for one another. I’m keen on supporting other artists and practitioners and them supporting me. In this community, I would like to support other artists in research, skill sets, and connections. In my day job, I work as an exhibition designer in the Arts, where I continuously support artists in the making of their exhibitions thus I would extend this to the 1833 club community

Artist bio: Alla Abdunabi (b. 2001, Freiburg) delves into the potential existence where all matter, organic or inorganic, possesses a soul realised through sculpture and installation. Central to her artistic methodology is the utilization or production of fragments, assembled to construct a sense of wholeness, whether rooted in factual events or products of the imagination. Her practice oscillates between past and present, utilizing contradictions and coincidences as connective threads to create new narratives; it is within these narrative uncertainties and gaps in collective memory that one unearths deeper truths. In my free time, I attend events, talks, exhibitions, studio visits, and engage in conversations about the arts and different approaches to art practice and pedagogy
