JEDDAH: Hayy Jameel is putting on “Red Wind, Coral Worlds,” an exhibition exploring the histories, cultures and ecological relationships that have connected communities across the Red Sea, East Africa and the Indian Ocean for centuries.
Curated by Huda Tayob and Miriam Hillawi Abraham, recipients of the Art Jameel Curatorial Open Call, the exhibition opened on May 20 and will continue until Oct. 26.
It brings together contemporary artworks, historical objects and archival materials to examine the Red Sea as a dynamic space of exchange rather than a geographical boundary.

Through themes of memory, belonging and movement, “Red Wind, Coral Worlds” traces the journeys of people, ideas and traditions shaped by trade, pilgrimage, migration and displacement.
