“A New Wave”, is a project initiated in concomitant with the forward-thinking philosophy and aesthetic of the Post Contemporary culture. Based on an artistic movement championing universal experiences, the proposed exhibition will delve into the nuances and social sub-cultures residing in the Arabian Gulf today. As a region usually associated with skyscrapers, fast cars, oil-wealth, and religious conservatism, it becomes difficult for voices from the Gulf to perforate the surface of preconceived notions.

Arabian Gulf culture married with Post Contemporary concepts, offers an opportunity for shifting the focus from the aforementioned to generating a new and progressive discourse. It is one that promotes asking new questions, deconstructing Middle-Eastern identity, and offering empathy on discussions surrounding race, gender, sexual orientation and religious beliefs. What is then offered is a third-millennium perspective responding with social structures from a siloed region that ascend to universal conversation.
