ArtDayME: A selection of photographs by Emirati artist Farah Al Qasimi is available for public display at Tate Modern in London. Admission is free.

The free-to-view installation is part of the Artist and Society wing in Room 12 on Level 2 of the museum's Natalie Bell Building. The current space is curated by Nabila Abdel Nabi and Bilal Akkouche, and will remain on view until October.

The artworks shown here offer glimpses into private moments in the homes and workplaces of Al Qasimi’s family and friends, detailing local communities and small businesses in New York and Abu Dhabi.

The display features works that reflect Al Qasimi’s interest in everyday life and visual culture in the UAE and the US, including images of domestic interiors, beauty salons, small businesses and staged scenes from private homes.

Multiple forms of image-making layer upon each other, extending here to the vinyl wallpapers which animate the photography and video work.

One of the featured works in the Tate's collection is Woman in Leopard Print (2019), which is part of a series that focuses on interiors, colour, texture and graphic textiles. According to Tate Modern, the work engages with “cultural signifiers, gendered expressions of identity and the colonial legacies of the Middle East”.
