The Assembly invites you to the annual Jameel Arts Centre Youth Takeover starting Friday May 5 and running until Sunday May 28, 2023.
The Assembly 2022-2023 cohort members are: artist Hala El Abora, artist and architect Farah Ali, visual artist Bilal Bashir, interdisciplinary researcher and artist Karno Dasgupta, artist Ronald Ekore, multidisciplinary artist Nathaniel Enriquez, photographer, filmmaker and writer Auguste Nomeikaite and visual designer Saba Sayfaiee.
The Youth Takeover manifests as a physical takeover of the Jameel Arts Centre space, featuring multiple audiovisual and artwork interventions around the stairs, passageways and gallery spaces 9 and 10. The Takeover is complemented by a rich public programme comprising workshops, talks, performances, walks, a panel discussion and Assembly-guided tours.
This year’s theme, composite, asks “what makes us?”. With 8 original commissions of young artists, the exhibition proposes that the self holds multiple sources and components.
The artworks herein, compositions in their own right, exist in dense and relational dialogue. Their layers stack up over time, like the Earth’s stratas of rock, compressed over millions of years. In coming together, these composite voices meld and negotiate substances, placements, gain new meaning and condense into a shared form of immensity.
