Combining film, photography, sculpture, painting, drawing, and performance, Maitha Abdallah harnesses the performative and constructed character of the theatre to tackle themes that range from folklore and mythology to gender, social conditioning, and psychology.
Much of Abdallah’s art is invested with research-based cultural narratives and folklore as well as explorations of psychology, social interactions and memory. Taking inspiration from traditional storytelling across varied cultures, Abdallah approaches themes of social and political identity through the theatrical narratives constructed within her work.
