Four Palestinian Women Artists at Artbooth Gallery Abu Dhabi

Artbooth Gallery in Abu Dhabi presents 'Heritage, Memory, and the Body', a group exhibition featuring Palestinian women artists Rania Amoudi, Dina Matar, Fatima Abu Rumi, and Marwa Alnajjar. Curated by Rula Dughman of Bab edDeir Art Gallery, the show runs from September 18 to October 31, 2025. The exhibition explores identity, displacement, and the female form as a vessel of memory and resistance. Amoudi's introspective interiors reimagine domestic spaces as sanctuaries. Matar's vibrant abstractions, inspired by her grandmother's embroidery from Gaza, evoke rootedness and healing. Abu Rumi's realist-expressionist works from Galilee fuse architecture, calligraphy, and textile patterns, portraying women as carriers of history. Alnajjar's gilded portraits, based on archival photographs from pre-1948 Jaffa, depict figures gathering fruit, blending personal memory with collective history. The exhibition positions these artists as central to contemporary Arab women's art, offering an alternative to static portrayals of femininity and nationhood.
