Under the stars and among the trees.. the 2025 artists in residence at mmag have spent their time reshaping space and time in an ongoing process of experimentation, dialogue, and shared experience. In the everyday poetics of Abeer Aref, in Ahmad Al-Daoud’s revealing satire of colonial remnants, in Akka Hamdan’s movements, where the personal becomes a site for collective questioning and the political is located within the intimate, in Faisal Karadsheh’s chemical transformations of matter, in Gabriel Possamai’s painterly inquiries into the colonial undercurrents of modernity, in Hanaa Safwat’s critique of global power structures through the moving image, in the magical and healing practices of Raghad Resres, and in Jumana Azzam’s literary metaphors and wondrous experiments with writing and books, we find practices that do not merely contemplate the past, but reorder it, opening portals towards imagining a future otherwise.
