Hello Future

Dividing her time between Brooklyn and Dubai, Emirates artist, Farah Al Qasimi’s is a bright and rising multidisciplinary artist whose work examines postcolonial structures of power, gender and aesthetic in the Persian Gulf states and global cultural confluence and migration at-large. Hello Future is a culmination of Al Qasimi’s photographic, performance and film practice, unified within her keen focus on surface and texture, and the revealing visual influences of the splashy and florid. The monograph includes an essay by Negar Azimi and conversation between Al Qasimi and artist Meriem Bennani. Designed by Studio Lin. Farah is recipient of the third annual Capricious Photo Award.
