Tabari Artspace hosts Fertile Dreams, a two-part exhibition unfolded first at the gallery in Dubai on 2 November 2025 and will continue at Abu Dhabi Art from 19 to 23 November 2025. The exhibition explores the intertwined relationship between land, body, and imagination, gathering artists from the MENA region and its diaspora whose practices engage with cycles of fertility, transformation, and renewal.
Through painting, drawing, mixed media, works on paper, and installation, Fertile Dreams examines fertility not only as a biological concept but as a broader metaphor for creation, sustenance, and regeneration. It contemplates how the earthly and the psychological converge, how terrain becomes ritual, metaphor, and a source of creative energy. Lines evoke riverbeds, curves recall wombs, and gestures summon ancient rites, dissolving the boundary between material and imagined worlds.
In Dubai, the exhibition features works by Almaha Jaralla, Maitha Abdalla, Alymamah Rashed, Chafa Ghaddar, Saj Issa, Pippa El-Kadhi Brown, Nada Baraka, Rema Ghuloum, and Randa Maddah, whose practices span surrealism, abstraction, and spirituality. At Abu Dhabi Art, the project evolves into a dialogue on abstraction across generations, presenting rare works by Hashel Al Lamki, alongside Nasser Almulhim, Lulwah Al Homoud, Chafa Ghaddar, and Saj Issa.
Together, these two iterations form a continuum, a meditation on fertility as both essence and process, where dreams, landscapes, and bodies become vessels of transformation and possibility.
Location: Tabari Artspace, Dubai from 2 November 2025 until March 2026 & at Abu Dhabi Art from 19 until 23 November 2025.
