This blogpost has been waiting in drafts for a long time. Because I simply don’t have the words to describe this event. Honestly, I don’t even know where to begin describing HOW it happened let alone WHAT ultimately happened. But let me try.

This exhibition really resonated with me, and somehow, I think it may have been the reason the concept of post-truth took hold in my mind. The first sentence in George Orwell’s book is: It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen. – George Orwell, 1984 This is what the

All my exploration of art exhibits around Jeddah town ended up with me at ‘21,39’ Jeddah’s biggest exhibition. Their 2018 theme was ‘Refusing to be Still’ which is simply brilliant and fueled my creativity so much! I’m hoping I can join in for their next exhibit. The exhibition was curated by the assistant curator at
