Luxhabitat published Laura Cherrie Beaney's In The Studio interview with Almaha Jaralla on 7 June 2023, timed to Seham, her solo exhibition at Tabari.
The Emirati artist talks from the studio about the work in that show and about translating family memory and Abu Dhabi archives into painting. The piece is distinct from the Gulf News and National cards already on the News page, and it belongs to the same Luxhabitat studio series as the interviews with Maliha Tabari and Ziad Al Najjar.
Seham ran at Tabari from 4 May to 1 September 2023.
Beaney visits Jaralla as Seham is on view, and the artist talks about memory, family photographs, and the careful work of bringing those images into paint. The interview sits in Luxhabitat's lifestyle journal, in the same series as the founder sitting with Maliha Tabari.
The piece also belongs to a run of studio visits that put Gulf artists in a lifestyle journal with a wide local readership, and it names Tabari as the place where Seham could be seen that summer.
Tabari represents Almaha Jaralla.
