For this exhibition project, Al-Maria (b. 1983) invites various artists, curators, scholars, and communities into a dialogue around histories, dreaming, futures and the Gulf’s relation to the surrounding regions. The exhibition, which consists of a variety of media including installations, video-work, and commissioned soundscapes, foregrounds the importance of storytelling and speculative narratives as strategies of survival, imagination, and reclaiming stories. Sophia Al-Maria: INVISIBLE LABORS daydream therapy is curated by researcher and independent curator Amal Al Haag in close collaboration with Mathaf's assistent-curator Abdulrahman Mohammed Alkubaisi.
