Exhibition: MinD/Body
Now in its fourth edition, MinD (Made in Dubai) is DUCTAC’s annual alternative art
platform, curated this year by Italian artist and writer Cristiana De Marchi as an
exploration of Body Art in the Gulf. Contemplating Body Art without 'the body' might
seem like a paradox, however it is a worthwhile exercise in a region where the depiction
of the body is culturally sensitive. The exhibition considers to what stage and in which
scenario the body has been represented in the last 25 years, presenting video and
photography work by: Ebtisam AbdulAziz, Noor Al-Bastaki, Manal Al Dowayan, Tarek
Al-Ghoussein, Mohammed Kazem, Waheed Malullah, Abdullah Al Saadi, Anas AlShaikh and Hassan Shairf.!This exhibition is held under the patronage of HH Sheikh

political, religious and cultural histories. Drawing on Slavs and Tatars’ multi-disciplinary practice
encompassing research, installations, lecture-performances and print media, this publication
embraces new contributions on subjects that range from 17st century Sarmatism to the 21st
century Green Movement.
Slavs and Tatars is a faction of polemics and intimacies devoted to an area east of the former
Berlin Wall and west of the Great Wall of China and is joined here by Agata Araszkiewicz,
Ramin Jahanbegloo, Adam Michnik, Mara Goldwyn, Shiva Balaghi and Michael D. Kennedy.
