RIYADH: Diriyah Art Institute’s inaugural exhibition “Continuum” opened on Saturday, presenting works by 11 international artists who form the first cohort of the Diriyah Art Futures residency.
Curated by Irini Papadimitriou, the show brings together installations, audiovisual pieces, VR works and AI-generated art that explore themes of memory, identity, displacement, migration, environmental concerns and our relationship with technology.

“‘Continuum’ is an umbrella title that we’ve decided to adopt for the program, and the exhibition is a celebration of the work that everyone has been creating and developing over a year at DAF,” Papadimitriou said at the opening.
Among the works is UK-based artist William J. Brooks’ “Clastic Resonance,” a sound installation built with Riyadh sandstone boulders.
