El Lamki’s exhibition, titled Maqam , will form the Gateway exhibition at the fair and will show key pieces of work from across the realms of his practice, which fuses vibrant perspectives to focus on aspects of life in the UAE that also addresses social innovation, sustainability, environmental and philanthropic practices. Maqam is a form of Arabic musical scale and both curator and artist have worked together to embed a sense of rhythm in the presentation. Alongside Gateway, Beyond Emerging Artists is an initiative that aims to provide three emerging artists in the UAE with a platform from which to develop their practice and realise ambitious art projects. The selected artists undertake a year- long programme of workshops and studio visits under the mentoring and the supervision of guest curators which leads toward the realisation of a project for the Abu Dhabi Art fair in November. The Beyond Emerging Artists for 2023 are Samo Shalaby, Almaha Jaralla, and Latifa Saeed. Samo Shalaby is an Egyptian-Palestinian artist based in Dubai, London, and Cairo. His work merges contemporary surrealism with antiquated traditions and blurs the lines between identity, culture, and couture, often using costumes, jewellery, and theatricality in his work. Almaha Jaralla, an Abu Dhabi-based Emirati artist, is interested in the architectural history of the region. She

I t’s been quite a trajectory for Hashel El Lamki, the Emirati artist whose star is on the rise. Born and raised in Al Ain in 1986, El Lamki went to New York to study at Parsons School of Design in 2007. Then, he travelled all over the world producing art before returning home to Abu Dhabi several years later. He was selected in 2021 for Abu Dhabi Art’s Beyond Emerging Artist programme, where he made a multidisciplinary work, addressing the subject of climate change and asking how it forces us to reconsider our existence and imagine new futures. But this year, for the 2023 edition Abu Dhabi Art, El Lamki takes even greater prominence with a survey show curated by Venetia Porter, an art historian and former Curator of Islamic and Contemporary Middle Eastern Art at the British Museum. It a true example of the role that Abu Dhabi Art – organised by the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi, plays within the cultural and creative ecosystem in the UAE. Since Dyala Nusseibeh took over the helm at the capital’s annual art fair in 2016, she has often spoken about how she wishes the fair to function not only as a single event but as an institution that recognises talent and fosters them, giving them a chance to shine and grow whilst also legitimising their practices for wider audiences.
