JEDDAH: Hafez Gallery in Jeddah is running an exhibition called Between Mist and Meridian, exploring memory, identity and belonging through three distinct artistic practices shaped across generations and geographies.
The exhibit features works by Hakim Al-Akel, the late Abdelsattar Al-Mussa and Thuraya Al-Baqsami. It runs from June 30 to Aug. 1 at the gallery’s Al-Rawdah space.
Gallery founder Qaswra Hafez told Arab News: “Our mission is to champion modern and contemporary Arab art by presenting exhibitions that deepen its discourse and celebrate its enduring relevance.
“The exhibition brings together three pioneering artists whose shared academic foundation in Moscow gave rise to distinct visual languages shaped by memory, place and lived experience,” he said.
Hafez spoke about how the exhibition highlights the way that personal histories become part of broader cultural narratives, adding that the works together “offer a dialogue across generations on identity, belonging and the lasting power of memory.”
