Dia Batal Donates A Work To Our Art Collection!
We are delighted to announce that a new work has been added to the A.M. Qattan Foundation ‘Nomad’ Art Collection! Spatial designer Dia Batal has generously donated Waw: A Seat For The Collective.
Dia uses Arabic calligraphy to transform text into objects, which seek to engage audiences in contemporary issues of identity and belonging. ‘Waw’ is the Arabic letter used to conjugate for the collective. It also means ‘and’. Depending on the position of the seated, the piece becomes a social space that suggests possible encounters, or not…
‘Waw: A Seat For The Collective.’ Translations Collection. Powder coated steel, limited edition of 7
The donation comes ahead of Dia’s September Design Week’ solo exhibition at The Mosaic Rooms. Sign up to our newsletter here, to be the first to hear news about the show.
