This summer, Arnolfini opens Dana Awartani: Standing by the Ruins, a deeply resonant exhibition that brings together new and existing works from the Palestinian-Saudi artist in her first institutional solo presentation in Europe. The show unfolds across media – textiles, film, painting and architectural installation – each piece carefully composed to explore the layered themes of loss, healing and cultural resilience.
