Ayman Zedani’s diverse, research-driven practice examines the future of the Arabian Peninsula through an exploration of people’s relationship to the natural world. Working across digital art and immersive installation, he imagines how communities might coexist amid accelerating climate change and increasing digital mediation. Both imaginative and scientific, Zedani’s work remains grounded in the region’s rich heritage as he weaves new narratives from reclaimed memory to envision possible futures and address urgent ecological concerns.
Zedani has exhibited his works locally and internationally, including at the 16th Sharjah Biennial, The 18th Istanbul Biennial, and Dream City Festival, Tunis. He has also participated in the inaugural edition of The Islamic Arts Biennale, Jeddah, Desert X AlUla, the inaugural edition of The Diriyah Contemporary Art Biennale, The Lahore Biennial, and the Bienalsur International Biennial, Buenos Aires.
