Event Details
Goodman Gallery presents QR CODES REVISITED—LONDON, an exhibition by New-York based Egyptian artist Ghada Amer in which the artist uses language to ask what it means to communicate across cultures and to truly understand the Other.
Working for the first time with the traditionally male-dominated Egyptian textile craft, Amer deploys the voices of Eastern and Western feminist activists within a series of new large-scale textile abstract works: transforming powerful statements by Simone de Beauvoir – “one is not born, but rather becomes, a woman” – and Amina Sboui – “my body belongs to me and it does not represent the honour of anyone” into bold geometric formations that reference the ubiquitous QR code form, a recent visual language that has replaced printed text. The exhibition expands on Amer’s career-long commitment to pushing against the exploitation of women around the world and to inspire all women to reclaim agency.
Since the 1990s, Amer’s Definition paintings have questioned the power of words to capture individual and shared realities. The Arabic dictionary definitions embroidered in the works featured in QR CODES REVISITED—LONDON explore meanings for: “Freedom,” “Love,” “Security” and “Peace” with the intension to challenge audience assumptions around Islamic culture and remind us that these qualities are integral to Arab societies. The work invites viewers to appreciate the overlooked riches of language, highlighting how easily one can become lost in translation.
Ghada Amer (b. Cairo, 1963) has a wide-ranging practice spanning painting, cast sculpture, ceramics, works on paper, and garden and mixed-media installations. Amer’s work is featured in public collections around the world, including: The Arab Museum of Modern Art, Doha; the Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, IL; the Barjeel Art Foundation, Sharjah; the Brooklyn Museum of Art, New York, NY; Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Bentonville, AR; the Guggenheim Museum, Abu Dhabi; the Israel Museum, Jerusalem; the Samsung Museum, Seoul; among others. Among invitations to prestigious group shows and biennials—such as the Whitney Biennial in 2000 and the Venice Biennales of 1999 (where she won the UNESCO Prize), 2005 and 2007—she was given a mid-career retrospective at the Brooklyn Museum of Art in New York in 2008 and an even wider retrospective by the MUCEM across three venues in the city of Marseille (France) in 2022-2023.
Ghada Amer is celebrated this season with four concurrent gallery exhibitions in the UK, Europe, and North America, marking an unprecedented opportunity to experience new and historical works by the artist across continents. This follows Amer’s 2022-2023 retrospective at MUCEM, highlighting the artist’s work across painting, ceramic and sculpture and iconic garden works.

A new body of work by the renowned artist Sara Shamma.
In Bold Spirits, Sara Shamma responds to the Gallery’s historic Collection with a focus on paintings of women. Shamma’s new works channel the spirits of these female figures while also connecting them to moments from her own life, retelling their stories for contemporary viewers.
Each of Shamma’s paintings presents a powerful and thought-provoking interpretation of works by artists including Rembrandt van Rijn, Peter Lely, Anthony van Dyck and Peter Paul Rubens. Shamma explores identity, death, motherhood and unexpected beauty in works that demonstrate her technical expertise as an artist, as well as her long-standing appreciation of the Old Masters.
Bold Spirits is part of Unlocking Paintings, a series of displays that presents new perspectives on the Gallery’s collection, inviting contemporary artists and thinkers to reinterpret historic themes. The display is curated by Helen Hillyard, curator at Dulwich Picture Gallery.
Entry to this display, is included with Gallery admission tickets. Online booking is advised.

Event Details
Moving between mediums that include film, installation, music and gaming, In the shade of the sun brings together artists that are forging a new language to think about and with Palestine. Their individual practices intertwine in soft expressions and radical politics, from the absurd to the poetic, as they make work for future times within the crisis of the present.
Tomorrow, Again, by Mona Benyamin stages a dysfunctional news broadcast that consists of different segments which recreate and react to various prominent daily catastrophes from Palestine. Instead of a spoken narrative, the film resorts to exaggerated emotional and physical displays. It utilises fragmented and often conflicting testimonies, doppelgängers, and a surrealist visual language to draw on notions of truth and fiction, and differing temporalities. The cast of the film sees two protagonists, the artist’s parents, assume multiple identities as they narrate and consume their own stories in an endless cycle.
In their multimedia installation, Revolution is a forest that the colonist can’t burn, Xaytun Ennasr celebrates trees as symbols of resistance and devotion. Through the artist’s aesthetic of radical softness, the installation examines what a revolutionary relationship with nature looks like. Trees are situated not as resources waiting to be extracted but as beings that are loved and that love back. That relationship is presented through a variety of media, including drawings, poetry, ceramics, textiles, living olive and fig trees, and an interactive digital game.
Dina Mimi’s project The melancholy of this useless afternoon unfolds through two chapters reflecting on the role of the fugitive and the smuggler. Chapter I layers images of birdsong competitions, revolutionary songs from Oman, Yemen and Palestine with a narrative contemplating movement, loss, separation, and revolutionary practice. Chapter II employs a clandestine style to document the practice of bird smuggling and the part the human body plays in this act. These are accompanied by a framed vest with an organic material resembling what the birds are traditionally hidden within.
Makimakkuk will debut a newly commissioned sound work titled What remains in the museum. This multi-layered work sonically reflects on identity, colonisation, love and relationships. It will be performed singularly live in the exhibition during a special event, the date will be announced shortly.
This group of artists is brought together by Bilna’es (in the negative), an adisciplinary platform that seeks to find new models for artists to redistribute resources and support one another in the production and circulation of work. Functioning as an interdisciplinary publishing space with releases ranging from music to video games Bilna’es was initiated by Ruanne Abou-Rahme & Basel Abbas, Muqata’a, and other anonymous figures as a way to support artistic communities in Palestine and beyond. The exhibition is curated by The Mosaic Rooms in conversation with Bilnae’s.
Independent researcher and curator Adam HajYahya has been specially invited by Bilna’es to co-curate the exhibition’s accompanying public programme. Haitham Haddad of Studio Mnjnk has designed the exhibition poster.
This exhibition forms part of The Mosaic Rooms 2023 programme, which seeks to interrogate questions of active solidarity; to consider how we can continue to collaborate, host, and create sustainable support networks that enable critical and creative artistic practices.
The exhibition is generously supported by Arts Council England, Bagri Foundation and Henry Moore Foundation.

Le Trio Joubran, comprised of three brothers hailing from a family with a rich lineage of ‘Oud’ makers and players spanning four generations, have forged an extraordinary path in the world of music. Samir, Wissam, and Adnan have transformed the ‘Oud,’ an ancient stringed instrument, into their life’s passion and a profound skill.
Hailing from Palestine, Le Trio Joubran is a group of musicians whose artistry has garnered international acclaim. They have been commissioned to compose music for various renowned films, including The Last Fly, Karim Dridi 2009, Miral (Julian Schnabel, 2010), Five Broken Cameras (Emad Burnat and Guy Davidi, 2011), and The Messenger of God (Majid Majidi, 2015). Their remarkable talent has earned them numerous nominations and awards, such as the Best Music Award at the Dubai International Film Festival in 2009 and 2012, and the Grand Prix de la Semaine de la Critique at Cannes in 2009.
Recognized for their outstanding contributions to the world of music, Le Trio Joubran has received prestigious accolades.
