Women in Contemporary Arab Art

An Exhibition from the Collection of International House Group

April 26 – May 18, 2025

Opening reception: Saturday, April 26 at 6 pm | Free admission

About the Exhibition

This exhibition presents 35 evocative works by some of the Arab world’s most visionary modern and contemporary artists - a celebration of womanhood in all its complexity, dignity, and beauty. The works are selected from the private collection of International House Group, collected over a period of 25 years. 

Spanning from 1945 to 2011, the artworks trace an evolving visual language used to portray women—at times idealized or symbolic, contemplative or expressive, always deeply human.

The exhibition includes paintings, drawings, and mixed media by renowned artists such as Ismail Fattah, Najat Makki, Khaled Al Jader, Louay Kayali, and Salah Taher.

Here, women are represented in a variety of social roles, as mothers, workers, individuals, and icons, embodied across generations of Arab artistic expression.

Opening Celebrations

We are preparing a special cultural evening to mark the opening of the exhibition on
Saturday, April 26 at 6:00 pm.

The event will include music, refreshments, and a curated gathering of creatives, art lovers, and community members.
