Southern Region
Highland villages, woven garlands, and the brilliant colour of Al-Qatt.
Curatorial summary
The South is where colour speaks first. Al-Qatt Al-Asiri — the women's wall painting tradition of Asir — lends its grammar of triangle, comb, and crescent to a generation of contemporary painters. The works here read as celebrations: of dress, of gathering, of the highland pulse.

Asiri Village, Mosaic of Houses
An aerial-feeling composition where the village reads as patterned cloth — every wall a small painting in the larger fabric.
