Duplicates, Sama Alshaibi, mixed media collage
‘طرس’ (Tterss)
Solo exhibition, Ayyam Gallery, 15 April - 30 May 2025, Dubai, UAE
طرس is Sama Alshaibi’s most solo exhibition featuring her most recent body of work. The exhibition brings together mixed-media collages and video art that reimagine Baghdad’s transformation—its peaks, declines, and latent possibilities. Through Alshaibi’s work, Baghdad becomes a site of physical presence and alternative visions—one that is “always mediated, annotated, and glimpsed through shifting thresholds.” — Sama Alshaibi
