Hashel Al Lamki (artist)
Moderator: Amal Khalaf (Civic Curator, Serpentine Galleries and Sharjah Biennial 16: to carry co-curator)
 

Hashel Al Lamki and Amal Khalaf explore the intersections of art, collective pedagogies and cultural memory through the artist’s Sharjah Biennial 16: to carry projects—site-specific installation Maat (2025) and the monumental polyptych Part-Time Lovers (2025). Spanning painting, sculpture and large-scale installations, Al Lamki’s practice delves into themes of urbanisation, migration and sustainability. The discussion will consider the role of collective learning, material experimentation and cross-cultural dialogue in shaping contemporary art practices, offering insights into how artistic interventions can act as bridges between natural and built environments.
