Spreading over seven rooms of Al Jahili Fort, “Artefacts of the Current Moments” is an immersive multi-layered art installation by Emirati artist, poet, and filmmaker Nujoom Alghanem that Abu Dhabi Art commissioned in Al Ain city this year.
The art installation presents versatile formats that centre around ceramic as a major material to reflect on the main theme, which is the “current moment”.
The fixture highlights the artist’s multi-disciplinary practice which includes poetry, painting, sound, film, and sculpture. Known for her storytelling approach, Alghanem creates a subliminal narrative for the visitors of Al Jahili that is based on the different materials and tools she adopted in parallel with the subjects she has been exploring for the last six months, particularly in relation to her several visits to Al Ain Oasis.
