Open Studio Residency

This summer, NIKA Project Space will transform into an open studio, offering two UAE-based artists the opportunity to develop new work within a gallery environment. While most art spaces close for the season, we are opening our doors to experimentation, dialogue, and public engagement. The resulting works will be presented in September at NIKA Project Space.

 

Open Studio residents: Zahra Jewanjee, Yasmine Al Awa and Ahed Al Kathiri. Until August 24, the selected artists will transform the ground floor of our Dubai gallery into an open studio, developing new projects in a space that remains accessible to the public throughout the residency. The program will culminate in a presentation of the resulting works in September.

 

The artists were selected through our recent open call, which closed on May 10. Reviewed by a jury of distinguished professionals: Nadine Khoury (curator), Latifa Saeed (artist), and Sara Abou-Khalil (collector).

 

We look forward to welcoming visitors interested in meeting the artists and gaining insight into their creative process. If you would like to schedule a visit during the residency, please get in touch with our team at contact@nika-projects.com or via phone +971 58 550 8052.
