Art can never thrive far from the personality of its artist. An art exhibition dubbed “Who Am I?”, scheduled for three days as of Wednesday, September 14, in Jeddah, gathers 10 Saudi artists who present around 30 art works that revolve around every artist’s vision of himself and his views of the world surrounding them, in an attempt to reach a mutual answer to the existential question: Who Am I?
In an interview with Asharq Al-Awsat, Engineer Hani Khoja said the idea of the exhibition was born in July, noting that “the idea of creating a space for art has inspired me and interested me since I was a kid.” Khoja adds that this creative space consists of spreading the culture of art locally, then regionally, by providing the needed place, supporting emerging and known artists, and trying to build a connection between customers and artists. “This requires ensuring a safe space for self-expression in the different forms of art,” he adds.
