The Wilson Center's Middle East Program published Lulwah Al-Homoud Elevates Saudi Arabian History and Culture, a video conversation with the Saudi artist and curator, in November 2022. The centre introduces her as an artist whose work has been exhibited in prestigious settings around the world, including the most recent GCC Summit and the cover of Vogue Arabia.
The program describes Lulwah Al Homoud's abstract work as largely influenced by her interest in mathematics, literature and experimentation with new technologies. In the conversation she reflects on the ways art encourages cultural exchange and the rediscovery of ancient heritage, while also documenting the present. The Wilson Center frames the feature within its cultural programming on the wider Middle East and North Africa, which aims to inform policy and stimulate public debate.
Al Homoud's practice bridges heritage and innovation, exploring spirituality, script and abstraction, often through geometric systems derived from Arabic letters. Her work is held in collections including the British Museum, LACMA, the Jeju Museum and the Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia. The first Saudi to earn an MA from Central Saint Martins in London, she has curated exhibitions including Contrasts in Harmony at Misk Art Week in 2019, and helped curate the Saudi exhibition at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris. She received the Rawabi Prize in London in 2020 and the Saudi National Award for Visual Arts in 2021, and founded the LAH Art Foundation and ISDAR to support Saudi artists. Lulwah Al Homoud is represented by Tabari.
