Artist Mounira Al Solh talks about her work, inspiration and process.
Artes Mundi is the internationally focused visual arts organisation for Wales. Every 2 years we produce an exhibition that presents work by some of the world’s best contemporary artists.
This year for the first time, the exhibition is being shown in 5 venues across Wales. We are grateful for the support of presenting partner the Bagri Foundation, plus the Colwinston Charitable Trust and many others.
AM10 is our current exhibition featuring works by Rushdi Anwar, Carolina Caycedo, Alia Farid, Naomi Rincon Gallardo, Taloi Havini, Nguyen Trinh Thi and Mounira Al Solh.
In this series of podcast episodes we will be meeting the artists of AM10 and celebrating their installations across Wales. We’ll hear them discuss their work and listen to reactions to their exhibition from community members around Wales. Plus, there will be expert comment and observations from arts and culture professionals.
Each episode will be themed around one artist. In this episode we will be focusing on Mounira Al Solh.
Mounira Al Solh was born in Lebanon and works in Lebanon and The Netherlands. Her artwork is exhibiting in Amgueddfa Genedlaethol, Caerdydd - The National Museum Cardiff.
In this podcast episode, Mounira gives a detailed explanation of her art, process and inspirations. She also talks in detail about her AM10 installation. Plus, members of the Oasis One World Choir (who made a collaborative performance with Mounira on the opening weekend of AM10) will talk about what her work means to them. There is also a discussion about Mounira’s work featuring Rachel Dedman from the V&A, archeologist Sarah Mady and artist Amak Mahmoodian.
If you would like to see Mounira Al Solh’s installation for AM10, it is on show at Amgueddfa Genedlaethol Cymru, National Museum Wales in Cardiff.
All of the AM10 installations around Wales are on display to the public until the 25th of February 2024.
For their generous support in enabling the talks and podcasts to happen, we thank the British Council in Wales, National Lottery/Art Council Wales ‘Create’ fund and the Heritage Lottery Fund.
