WOMEN AT WORK: INTERSECTION OF FINE ART AND CRAFT

The Ramzi and Saeda Dalloul Art Foundation (DAF) is pleased to present Women at Work: Intersection of Fine Art and Craft, a landmark exhibition curated by Wafa Roz. Featuring over 80 works by contemporary women artists from across the Arab world, the exhibition explores the creative force born at the intersection of fine art and craft – challenging long-standing hierarchies that have historically separated the two.

The exhibition brings together works across a wide range of media, including textiles, ceramics, metal, painting, photography, and drawing. Through these diverse materials and techniques, artists reimagine and reclaim practices long dismissed as “women’s work” – such as weaving, embroidery, and pottery – and transform them into vital sites of aesthetic, intellectual, and political engagement. The exhibition invites viewers to reconsider what counts as creative labor and who gets to define it.

WOMEN’S AGENCY IN ARAB ART: KINSHIP, EDUCATION, AND POLITICAL ACTIVISM

The Ramzi and Saeda Dalloul Art Foundation (DAF) is proud to present the extended Women’s Agency in Arab Art: Kinship, Education, and Political Activism: an exhibition that sheds light on the complex trajectories and contributions of pioneering Arab women artists born between 1905 and 1948.

The exhibition explores how kinship, political engagement, and educational access intersected with artistic production across key periods in modern Arab history. It features 53 artworks from the Dalloul Art Foundation collection created by 34 women artists and educators from Iraq, Egypt, Lebanon, Palestine, Jordan, and Morocco, many of whom played central roles in the development of influential movements such as the Baghdad Modern Art Group, Art et Liberté, the Contemporary Art Group in Egypt, and the Houroufia movement.
