Monira Al Qadiri

Monira Al Qadiri is an international artist whose practice explores topics as diverse as ancient history and the possibilities of new technologies, always with a critical yet playful point of view. Bozar presents her first solo exhibition in Belgium, titled The Archaeology of Beasts. It includes a new digital creation, commissioned for this occasion, shown together with existing projects. The beasts in her exhibition range from marine organisms whose gender is altered by pollution from the paint used on tanker-ships, to a karaoke-singing dinosaur. Interweaving ancient myths and recent facts connected to climate change, Al Qadiri’s works oscillate between humour and beauty, often with an underlying violence.
