Fragility And Resilience : Ayesha Sultana

September 6-December 7, 2024

Pools (2024) by Ayesha Sultana

Ishara Art Foundation presents Fragility and Resilience , the first comprehensive solo exhibition of Ayesha Sultana in the GCC. The show is an exploration of the delicate balance between the vulnerability and strength of our planet in the 21st century. Challenging the conventional binaries that separate concepts of the fragile and the resilient, Sultana proposes that fragility can be a form of strength while encompassing profound vulnerability. This thematic exploration is particularly pertinent in the contemporary world as social, ecological and personal upheavals continually test the limits of sustainability.
