Artist-Led Exhibition Tours: Dima Srouji & Marlon de Azambuja

Join us on a Saturday afternoon of artist-led tours exploring our current solo exhibitions.

Marlon de Azambuja will guide visitors through on the Ground Floor, offering insight into his sculptural practice that reimagines modernist legacies through raw materials and poetic interventions.

Dima Srouji will then lead a walkthrough of A on the Lower Ground Floor, introducing her new works that confronts the profound dissonance between the sacred architecture and geography of Christianity and the ongoing erasure of Palestinian life under settler colonial violence.

This is a unique opportunity to experience both exhibitions in depth and hear directly from the artists about their ideas, processes, and inspirations.

Light refreshments will be served before and after the tours.

Biography:

Dima Srouji (b. 1990, Palestine) is an architect, artist, educator, and researcher interested in layers of the ground. She is the founder of the glass sculptures project Hollow Forms. Srouji was the 2022-2023 Jameel Fellow at the Victoria & Albert Museum. Her work is part of the permanent collections at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, Victoria & Albert Museum, Institut du Monde Arabe, Corning Museum of Glass, Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary, Art Jameel, and the Sharjah Art Foundation.

Marlon de Azambuja (b.1978, Brasil, Porto Alegre), lives and works in Paris, France. De Azambuja works across a range of media including sculpture, installation, photography, and drawing. His work explores architecture and urbanism and the power-structures and norms that emanate from public space design choices. He is particularly interested in the history of Modernist architecture in Brazil and how this has affected collective consciousness and affected people’s lives. Frequently using found materials, De Azambuja’s work is often site-specific and strongly tied to the location he physically intervenes in. De Azambuja is recognized as one of the leading contemporary artists in Brazil, and his work has received critical acclaim for its thought-provoking exploration of social and political issues.
