AWAKENING DREAMS II
10 OCTOBER 2020 – 31 OCTOBER 2020
Under the patronage of Her Royal Highness Princess Rajaa Bint Talal, Jodar Artistry is hosting the artworks of a group of female artists in the second edition of “Awakening Dreams”.
The artists Reem Khader, Shereen AlOuran, Raida Shahin, Amal Sobeh, Dalia Ali, and Rana Safadi, came together this October, the breast cancer awareness month, to support Jordan Breast Cancer Program in their noble cause. 40% of sale proceeds will be donated to provide life-saving screening services for Jordanian women in underserved areas.
The lucidity of each artist’s dreams, artworks, and figures, quietly addresses the existentialism and the fragile nature of our lives and selves. Is it a state of false awakening? Can a dream as convincing as reality? Who was this person who I saw in my dream? What’s beyond awakening?
“It’s all about the vivid dream that awakens you.” explains Shahin, “just like a dreamer, the artist gains some amount of control over the characters, narrative, and environment of their artworks.”
The artworks, oil on canvases, and mixed media, all mirror the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and existence captured in the exhibition’s title.
The exhibition will be held on Tuesday, October 13th, and runs till the end of October.
