Planning an art stop in Abu Dhabi? Here’s one exhibition worth your time. Skin of Dreams at the Cultural Foundation offers films, paintings, and immersive works, spanning 15 years of Shezad Dawood’s art. The exhibition takes you through the past and into the future, blending ecology, climate change, and imagined worlds.
Shezad Dawood is a London-based artist whose work often looks at architecture, ecology and science, with ideas that move between old traditions and imagined futures. Skin of Dreams is his first mid-career retrospective. More than 15 years of work are on display until September 20.
Inside, you’ll find films, paintings and immersive pieces. The show also includes Dawood’s “openers” works, which act as entry points into his world. One of the key parts is Leviathan Cycle, his ten-part film series about a future shaped by climate change. The final two episodes are premiering at Cultural Foundation as part of the exhibition.
