Jameel Prize: Moving Images
This exhibition explored the relationship between contemporary practice and Islamic tradition at Cartwright Hall Art Gallery.
Jameel Prize: Moving Images was the seventh edition of the Prize, focused on moving image and digital media work.
The exhibition brought together seven artists from across the Middle East and South Asia, whose diverse practices span film and photography, animation, installation, sound, sculpture, and virtual reality.
The finalists were selected by an international jury from over 300 applicants, following an open call. Ohida Khandakar was named the winner of the £25,000 prize for her film and installation Dream Your Museum, 2023.
