Interested in art? Then you have to check out this exhibition as it dives into artist Abeer Al-Tamimi’s interest in human interaction and behaviour. During her residency at Cité International des Arts in Paris, the artist wanted to interact with as many people as possible to answer questions such as why we behave the way we do. And can we control our behaviours and emotions?

Abeer’s interest lies within experimental art and film, mainly with the use of paints in conveying messages in her films. Recently, she has been experimenting with collages and moving images. Her mission is to experiment with moving images to create art installations and sculptures. Will you be going?
