Alymamah Rashed: 'A Body Is the Holder Of One's Stories'

Alexandra Mansilla, The Sandy Times, 21 May 2024

The Sandy Times published Alexandra Mansilla's interview with Alymamah Rashed on 21 May 2024. The page and headline loaded in English, even though the URL sits under /ar/articles/. The headline is Alymamah Rashed: 'A Body Is the Holder Of One's Stories'.

Rashed talks about why the body has always compelled her, as the holder of love, hurt, yearnings and stories, and about the eyes, lines and colours that run through the paintings. The text also points readers to a video and interview on the Tabari site, so the gallery is named. The conversation is a first person artist interview, distinct from later features in Villa88 and Emaho.

Mansilla asks how the exploration of the body began, and Rashed answers that it holds her stories. Eyes appear throughout the work, sometimes one, sometimes many. The interview is conversational and first person, and it sends readers on to the gallery site for more.

Tabari represents Alymamah Rashed, and has shown her work in Dubai solos and at Art Dubai and Abu Dhabi Art.
