Shezad Dawood: Skin of Dreams


Shezad Dawood: Skin of Dreams is the first mid-career retrospective of artist Shezad Dawood.

The exhibition invites you into the richly textured universe Dawood has been shaping for over two decades. Anchored in research, his works draw on diverse references from history, literature, architecture, music, science and technology, allowing him to make fantastical connections and leaps we might otherwise miss.

Curated by Jessica Cerasi, it brings together over 40 works including painting, sculpture, monumental film installations, and interactive virtual reality experiences.
