Sites of Life takes a posthumanist lens to explore how Arab artists imagine and enact life beyond the human. Posthumanism challenges the idea that humans stand at the centre of existence and invites us to see vitality as shared across people, objects, and the natural world, recognising that all forms of life are interdependent.

“In one minute, the entire life of a house is ended. The house as a casualty is also a mass murder, even if it is empty of its inhabitants. A mass grave of raw materials intended to build a structure with meaning, or a poem with no importance in time of war.”

P21 Gallery is proud to announce "SIEGE," a powerful new exhibition by Susan Boulter. The show is structured in two distinct parts: the first, a series of 12 works, presents a world subjected to a state of siege by powerful forces. The second, a series of 7 pieces, reveals the specific and general ways in which truth is manipulated and suppressed.

Boulter’s work posits that a siege is not merely a military condition but a pervasive system—one that subjugates individual freedoms to the grip of public authority.
