This program invites fellow artists and community members to explore the studio practices and processes of our artists-in-residence, Utsa, Reem AlHashemi, and UT-R Studio. Whether through textile, research fragments, performance, or material play, the afternoon centers around their routines, movements, experiments, and the subtle shifts that shape how and why they create.
Reem AlHashmi is a contemporary multidisciplinary artist, born in the UAE, whose works are driven by the physical exploration of the human psyche through sculpture, installation, and textile dyeing.
Utsa Hazarika is a research-based artist and writer whose practice, spanning video, installation, and sculpture, explores the intersections of power, memory, and resistance through interdisciplinary dialogue.
UT-R Studio, the collaborative duo of Tasnim Tinawi and Uthra Varghese, investigates the many ways design can elevate the relationship between cultural context and the built environment.
