Red Wind, Coral Worlds

Curated by Huda Tayob and Miriam Hillawi Abraham, recipients of the 2025–2026 Art Jameel Curatorial Open Call, Red Wind, Coral Worlds sites the Red Sea within an expanded, interconnected oceanic terrain, tracing the material and affective remnants of centuries of movement shaped by trade, pilgrimage and displacement — from the coral and mangrove shores binding Jeddah to Suakin to the red winds from Ethiopia. Working through scent, texture, residue and sound, artworks are placed in conversation with historical and found objects. Artists include Abeer Sultan, Ameena Aljerman Al Ali, Basmah Felemban, Dima Srouji, Gouled Ahmed and Asmaa Jama, Hashim Nasr, Henok Melkamzer, Hoda Afshar, Hussein Shariffe, Joseph Kamaru, Madiha Sikander, Mustafa Saeed, Myriam Omar Awadi, Rund Alarabi, Sara Abdu, Sarah Al Abdali and Shiraz Bayjoo. First floor, Hayy Arts.
