Press Preview: Friday 27 June 2025

This summer Arnolfini welcomes multidisciplinary artist Dana Awartani for her first institutional European solo exhibition. Standing by the ruins brings together existing works with a major new commission, in a moving exploration reflecting upon “love and loss, destruction and the passage of time.”
