Rashid School for Boys Alumni Exhibition Explores Memory and Adolescence

Canvas is hosting the exhibition 'The Boys are Alright,' showcasing creations by alumni from Rashid School for Boys (RSB) in Dubai. This display, curated by former students, delves into their collective adolescent experiences and the school's past closure. Featured artists include Jumairy, who presents 'Prime Matter' (2025), a compilation of six animated videos on loop. Support for the exhibition comes from Rashid and Latifa School, Bayt Al Mamzar Patron Circle, and numerous patrons and collaborators such as Abdulkhaliq Abdulla and Afra Al Dhaheri. The works reflect on themes of memory, identity, and resistance, portraying a fragmented narrative that resonates with the artists' ongoing journeys.
