Janet Bellotto at the exhibition Echoes of Sir Bani Yas: Artistic Reflections (23/05/2024)


Echoes of Sir Bani Yas: Artistic Reflections draws its strength from the serene mindfulness workshop at Sir Bani Yas Island led by Justin Thomas, Naz Shahrokh, and Stefan Messam and the exploratory endeavors of the COMET projects led by David Howarth and Janet Bellotto. The COMET initiative, deeply committed to studying island ecologies, has spurred students and faculty to interact with and artistically interpret the unique ecosystem of Sir Bani Yas Island. These explorations are rooted in environmental sustainability and the rich cultural histories of island environments. 


Janet Bellotto’s Planetary Fluke is a series of photographs capturing moments of the landscape and its fragility at Sir Bani Yas Island while considering the relationship with water and the sea. The exhibition is on display between May 23 and June 19, 2024.
