‘Meet the Artist: Monira Al Qadiri’

Monira Al Qadiri is an international artist who works with sculpture, installation, film and performance. In her practice, she questions the petrostate nations' activities and their impact on the cultural histories and ecosystems of the Gulf region. 

This fall , Bozar is hosting her first solo exhibition in Belgium, The Archaeology of Beasts, which interweaves ancient myths and current issues relating to climate change. Oscillating between humor and beauty, her work often possesses an underlying violence.   

Bozar invites you for an intimate conversation with the artist on the day of the opening. A unique opportunity to discover Al Qadiri’s new body of work and to dive into her universe – with her leading the way.   

The talk will be moderated by Elisabeth Van Caelenberge, Egyptologist (KU Leuven) and art historian specialising in contemporary art (former director of gallery Xavier Hufkens).
