Walid Siti at “The Arrangements of the Soul in the Universe”, Yogyakarta (04/10/2018)


Walid Siti participated in the group show “The Arrangements of the Soul in the Universe”, curated by Mo Reda and taking place at Langgeng Art Foundation in Yogyakarta, Indonesia from 28 July until 28 August 2018. The exhibition included works by fourteen artists reflecting on contemporary Middle Eastern sociogeopolitical issues and the placement of those issues in a larger global context. The exhibition addressed a discourse in which art from the Middle East, while remaining aware of its location of origin and all its nuances, is also free of preconceptions of what is often expected of it in an effort to seem more “authentic”. The exhibition also received support from Barjeel Art Foundation (Sharjah, UAE) to present video artworks by Adel Abidin, Larissa Sansour, Lawrence Abu Hamdan, and Youssef Nabil.
