Moza Almatrooshi

Moza Almatrooshi (Dubai, UAE, 1991) is a multimedia artist, who looks at narratives from ancient and contemporary mythologies in the Arabian Peninsula, and the ways in which they uphold nation building techniques. This culminates in fictions and metaphors derived from regional food production practices and food politics.

Almatrooshi’s artworks have been performed in the Victoria & Albert Museum, London (2019), selected by the ICA and BBC for the New Creatives project, and displayed in the second Lahore Biennale (2020). Her writings have been published in ArabLit Quarterly, and by the Contemporary Image Collective in Cairo. She is currently a faculty fellow in the Sheikha Salama Emerging Artists Fellowship in Abu Dhabi.
