Sophiya Khwaja: Nooks of Power at Tashkeel Gallery
We are so pleased to announce a solo exhibition, SOPHIYA KHWAJA: Nooks of Power, at Tashkeel Gallery in Dubai. This exhibition marks the completion of Sophiya’s journey on the Tashkeel Critical Practice Programme (CPP), mentored by Salima Hashmi and Dawn Ross. ‘Nooks of Power’ is Sophiya’s first solo exhibition in the UAE and will be on view through June 12, 2023.
Launched in 2014, the Tashkeel Critical Practice Programme offers sustained studio support, critique, mentorship and production to UAE-based artists.
Sophiya's work can be divided into five distinct series that are all executed on paper. The techniques range from pastels to digital prints, utilizing acrylics, thread, collage, teawashes and gouache.
Nooks of Power aims to investigate the ways and methods in which humans acquire, hoard and unleash authoritative power, with Sophiya dissecting herself as specimen no. 1 within this exploration.
