Alia Farid: Bneid Al Gar
| Lise Wilhelmsen Art Award
Alia Farid: Bneid Al Gar is her largest solo exhibition to date and it showcases four crucial works from the artist’s career alongside new works on paper.
Kuwaiti-Puerto Rican artist Alia Farid (b. 1985) works with a range of media including textile, drawing, film, and sculpture to make visible the registers of narratives, stories, and ways of knowing omitted by western hegemony. The exhibition title Bneid Al Gar, Arabic for land of tar, refers to Farid's experiences growing up in an area of Kuwait where large bruise-like stains of oil once punctuated the surface of the earth.
Team: Alia Farid: Bneid Al Gar is curated by Caroline Ugelstad and co-curator María Inés Rodríguez.
Designed by +groma (Andrea Pinochet, Daniel Romm).
On view:
13. September – 05. January 2025
Henie Onstad Kunstsenter, Oslo
