1 October - 8 December 2024

The inaugural Between the Tides بين المد والجذر: A Gulf Quinquennial opens at NYU Abu Dhabi Art Gallery on October 1, celebrating the gallery's 10th anniversary with a survey of significant artistic voices from the GCC. Among the featured artists, Hazem Harb presents his 2023 GAUZE شاش series, a profound exploration of cultural identity and environmental change.

Running through December 8, this quinquennial exhibition, co-curated by Maya Allison and Duygu Demir, highlights 21 artists and collectives from across the Gulf, reflecting on themes of heritage, urban growth, and identity. Through diverse media—painting, video, installation, and sculpture—artists like Harb contribute to a dynamic dialogue that connects the Gulf's cultural landscape to a broader global audience.
