Mahra AlFalahi

IYAD QANAZEA GALLERY is thrilled to present Mahra AlFalahi, an Emirati artist based in Abu Dhabi.
Mahra AlFalahi is a multidisciplinary Emirati artist based in Abu Dhabi. Working primarily with textiles, fabric sculpture and installation, her work engages
with themes rooted in personal and collective memory, using sewing, embroidery, and experimental processes to question cultural narratives.
She holds a BA in Fine Arts from the University of Sharjah (2018) and a MFA in Fine Arts from New York University Abu Dhabi (2023).
In 2021, AlFalahi was selected for the Artist Residency Program at the Cultural Foundation in Abu Dhabi.
AlFalahi’s work has been widely exhibited across the UAE.
Her commissions include works for Dubai Culture and Arts Authority, the Abu Dhabi Executive Office, and Sikka Art & Design Festival.
Mahra’s work has been featured in Al Arabiya News, Aletihad, AlKhaleej, UAE Times, and Harper’s Bazaar Arabia.
