Ahaad Alamoudi's First Institutional Solo Exhibition at Hayy Jameel
Ahaad Alamoudi's first institutional solo exhibition, 'Moving Mountains,' opens at Hayy Jameel in Jeddah, featuring works from the past eight years and a new commission as its centerpiece. The exhibition includes video, performance, and installation that explore rapidly changing social and cultural environments in Saudi Arabia, using humor and absurdity to depict efforts against reason—such as preventing ice from melting in heat or planting a plastic palm tree in hard earth. Alamoudi, a Saudi artist based between Jeddah and London, holds a BA from Dar Al Hekma University and an MA from the Royal College of Art, and is currently pursuing a PhD. Her practice addresses history, ethnography, and representation through photography, video, and print installations, reinterpreting cultural tropes with a humorous lens.
