In keeping with previous years, the March 2019 exhibition has a central theme — everyday materials and systems. The artists examined the white noise in our daily lives – those subtle yet ever present moments that would normally escape our everyday attention, but are an inherent part of it. The exhibition looked at a magnification of these moments in order to understand our perception of the everyday better and sensitize us for the ordinary as well as extraordinary moments in daily life. The artists included Ayesha Hadir, Mona Ayyash, Rawdha Al Ketbi, Tor Seidel, and Zara Mahmoud.
