يسر مبادرة ألفاء دعوتكم لحضور معرضهم القادم "فاصلة منقوطة" الموافق افتتاحه ١٢ مايو. وسيكون بذلك أول معرض في بيت السلمانية وهو بوتقة جديدة تولد في قلب العاصمة لتساهم في المشهد الفني المحلي. نتمنى رؤيتكم جميعًا في الافتتاح! (اسحب للجانب للموقع) #ألفاء

Ulafa’a presents Semicolon, an exhibition of artists exploring different forms of communication and how they can be manipulated to express an ‘in-between’ of a space, place, or time.

Semicolons signify something that fits in-between; it is a stronger break than a comma, but not as final as a full stop. A link and a separation. This curved punctuation embodies the second before dawn breaks, a pause for breath, a waiting room.

A chance to look back by Mohamed Alaabar

Just wanted to reflect some thoughts through this post.

Sometimes you realize how much effort and love you put when you look back at work you put with honesty.

The exhibition was a success despite all the challenges faced, from time constrains and resources. Nevertheless, Birmingham school of art and the team and artist was supportive and made this event happen.

These are pictures from the event ( all images were obtained through Ulafaa's website)

This year has also been productive, including new mediums , new color pallets , film photography and so traveling, i guess ill leave many of these to new upcoming posts.

for now i leave you with a teaser of Ulafaa's new upcoming exhibition posters:
