‍‘Ancestral Futures’ is an exploration of art and design grounded in local traditions of land, craft, and ritual. Shaped in collaboration with Emirati curator Fatma Al Mahmoud, the exhibition brings together Middle Eastern designers and artists from the UAE, Kuwait, Iran, Lebanon, and Syria who are remixing ideas across time, creating objects that blend function with memory and meaning. Featuring work by Latifa Saeed, Talin Hazbar, Sara Aahli, Omar Al Gurg, Maktoum Al Maktoum, Abdulla Buhijji, Wafa Al Falahi, Neda Salamanpour, Kawther Al Saffar, Pots & Pines, and Tamara Barrage.

Friday Gallery will host an opening reception Friday June 27th from 7-9pm during the LA Design Festival, with a curator-led tour of the work alongside key artists and designers from the exhibition.
