Tashkeel presents 'COVID Conversations', a group exhibition by UAE-based artists and designers that reflect upon the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. By focusing on creative acts that seek to explore, understand and process responses and reactions to the pandemic, the exhibition aims to examine the highs and the lows of the psychological impact, and creativity borne from the challenges of limitation, isolation and change, whether positive or negative.

The exhibition features visual artists of all disciplines, graphic designers, product designers and other creatives with finished works, experimental outcomes and research in a range of mediums realised during the period since March 2020, when restrictions on movement and engagement were first introduced.

‘COVID Conversations’ will be accompanied by a programme of talks, tours and workshops during the exhibition period, which will be delivered both online and at Tashkeel (Nad Al Sheba) subject to social distancing measures.
