About: A rose is a rose is a rose is a rose is London-based artist Mandy El-Sayegh’s inaugural solo exhibition in Dubai. The site-specific exhibition, encompassing painting, installation, video, sound, and performance, operates as an immersive environment for accessing multiple overlapping truths. Drawing from autobiographical Chinese and Palestinian symbols and motifs, alongside popular visual cultural materials and newsprint, El-Sayegh employs the studio art of bricolage interconnecting existing materials to create new meaning.
