Tashkeel is hosting a brand-new solo show

Khalid Alastad For Tashkeel

Check out Little Neighbours

Time for another brilliant photography exhibition!

In a new location at FN Designs, Alserkal Avenue, Tashkeel is hosting a solo show of documentary photography by UAE national artist Khalid Alastad, Little Neighbours.

Alastad is showcasing a remarkable curation of more than 100 documentary photographs that seamlessly marries the precision of scientific documentation with the artistry of a seasoned photographer.

“Hailing from a lineage of creatives, with his father, Mohammed Alastad, celebrated as a pioneer artist known for his remarkable paintings and installations in the UAE, Khalid carries the torch forward through his lens,” says Lisa Ball-Lechgar, deputy director of Tashkeel.

With Little Neighbours, guests can explore a detailed range of Alastad’s UAE-based wildlife photography, with a particular focus on insects, birds, reptiles, and arachnids inhabiting the country’s delicate desert ecosystem.

Beyond the detailed visuals, Alastad’s work serves as invaluable documentation that can be used as a resource to be studied further, offering an unprecedented insight into the lives and behaviours of these often-overlooked creatures.

The exhibition will open on 28 September 2023 during Alserkal Lates and continue until 15 October at FN Designs, Alserkal Avenue.
