The exhibition, \u2018In My Dream I Was in Kuwait\u2019, features drawing, painting and photography works by Kuwaiti artists Ahmed Muqeem, Nasser Behbehani and Khaled Alnajdi.<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition, which is an attempt to share narratives from the country as told by the artists, will run until 1 November. The art show is the second in a two-part exhibition organised by the fine arts centre of Kuwait\u2019s Sheikh Abdullah Al Salem Cultural Centre (ASCC).<\/p>\n<p>The first iteration of the show held from June to September, featured artists Zahra Marwan, Mahmoud Shaker and Amani Al Thuwaini. All six artists have been part of ASCC\u2019s inaugural Artist in Residence program, which began in September last year.<\/p>\n<p>These exhibitions, however, are only one part of ASCC\u2019s program, which also includes workshops and visits to the studios of contemporary artists in Italy. The Kuwaiti artists will also explore the many exhibitions forming the 58th Venice Biennale, which runs until November.<\/p>\n<p>Building on the idea of cultural exchange, the goal of the ASCC is to bring contemporary Italian artists to Kuwait for an exhibition.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-22675\"

On the surface, Women at the Balcony seems to be a nostalgic take on Kuwaiti society from the 1960s, depicting a row of vibrantly painted women chatting away. \u201cThey\u2019re gossiping, having fun, laughing, but if you see them, they don\u2019t have expensive watches or things,\u201d he says. \u201cThey don\u2019t have mobiles. They gather and they socialise, and you can see they are happy.\u201d<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-22674\" src=\"http:\/\/192.163.207.100\/~timesku1\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Nasser-Behbehanis-photographic-works-create-a-dialogue-between-Kuwaits-past-and-present.-Courtesy-of-ASCC.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/timeskuwait.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Nasser-Behbehanis-photographic-works-create-a-dialogue-between-Kuwaits-past-and-present.-Courtesy-of-ASCC.jpg 700w, https:\/\/timeskuwait.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Nasser-Behbehanis-photographic-works-create-a-dialogue-between-Kuwaits-past-and-present.-Courtesy-of-ASCC-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/timeskuwait.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Nasser-Behbehanis-photographic-works-create-a-dialogue-between-Kuwaits-past-and-present.-Courtesy-of-ASCC-696x392.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/>In his photographs, Behbehani opts for plain backgrounds, stripping the visuals of context to bring focus to the subject. In the show, two sets of portraits have been placed next to each other as a way to bridge past and present, tradition and progress. For example, a staged portrait of a naham, or the singer on a pearling boat, is placed next to an image of Behbehani\u2019s young daughter looking right into the lens.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-22671\" src=\"http:\/\/192.163.207.100\/~timesku1\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Ahmed-Muqeem-presenting-his-works-to-visitors-at-the-In-My-Dream-I-Was-in-Kuwait-exhibition-in-Venice.-Courtesy-of-ASCC.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/timeskuwait.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Ahmed-Muqeem-presenting-his-works-to-visitors-at-the-In-My-Dream-I-Was-in-Kuwait-exhibition-in-Venice.-Courtesy-of-ASCC.jpg 700w, https:\/\/timeskuwait.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Ahmed-Muqeem-presenting-his-works-to-visitors-at-the-In-My-Dream-I-Was-in-Kuwait-exhibition-in-Venice.-Courtesy-of-ASCC-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/timeskuwait.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Ahmed-Muqeem-presenting-his-works-to-visitors-at-the-In-My-Dream-I-Was-in-Kuwait-exhibition-in-Venice.-Courtesy-of-ASCC-696x392.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/>The decision to develop this dialogue was led mostly by the curators, allowing the works to have more nuance and depth, said Behbehani.
