Sara Al Haddad

Sara Al Haddad is an artist based in Dubai, whose work comes from a very personal space and embodies internal struggles. With vulnerability, she abstractly depicts private emotions through a practice that seeks self- acceptance by dealing with emotions, fears, doubts, and insecurities. Translating emotional states into artworks, she re-navigates those feelings to produce objects that are delicate and change according to each new space they occupy. She has had two solo exhibitions, i Know, i Knew at the Gallery of Light in 2013 after completing a two-month residency at the Dubai Community Theatre & Arts Centre (DUCTAC), and Bursting at the Seams in Pavilion Downtown Dubai in 2012. Her recent group exhibitions include ACADEMY 2016, Connersmith, Washington, DC (2016); Ramadanization, Gallery of Light, Dubai (2016), not really here, Platform Gallery, Baltimore (2016); and Beyond, Abu Dhabi Art (2015), among others.
