Ishara Art Foundation presents Urdu Worlds, the UAE’s inaugural contemporary art exhibition dedicated to the Urdu language. Bringing together major works by Ali Kazim and Zarina, the exhibition is curated by Hammad Nasar. Urdu Worlds marks the inaugural contemporary art exhibition dedicated to the Urdu language in the UAE. Curated by Hammad Nasar, the exhibition is a visual conversation around language between Ali Kazim and Zarina, and the first comprehensive presentation of Kazim’s works in the GCC. The show explores how language provides the tools with which we create and shape our internal ‘worlds’. Words, rather than simply describing our surroundings, give rise to our private lived experiences and shared cultural understandings.
