wdha
wdha (Wadha Al Musallam) is a digital artist with an interest in experimental surrealist imagery. She employs sound, video, and photography to depict various psychological states of being. Her work is focused on creating imagery that elicits emotional reactions from the viewer, with meanings that vary and shift depending on the individual and their reality. Her approach is heavily influenced by a desire to experiment. She views digital art as a medium for self-discovery, with her motifs being direct reflections of her surroundings and upbringing.
wdha has exhibited work at Fire station Museum, Qatar.

Civan Özkanoğlu
Civan Özkanoğlu’s interdisciplinary work traces the everyday. He is interested in seemingly mundane stories and daily absurdities and how they converge in public space, mass media, the art world, and in the realm of politics and collective memory. His practice has increasingly moved from photography to other visual, sculptural and performative interventions that tend to the conceptual tensions within artistic production and the exhibition forms it enables.
Civan Özkanoğlu has exhibited work at SALT, Istanbul; National Academy Museum & School, New York; and Istanbul Modern, among others.
