Nouf Aljowaysir Featured in The Window in Alserkal, Presented by CHANEL Culture Fund

9–29 November 2026 | Alserkal Avenue, Dubai

Gazelli Art House is delighted to announce the presentation of Salaf: Ancestral Seeds (2025) by Nouf Aljowaysir as part of The Window in Alserkal, a public digital art exhibition presented by CHANEL Culture Fund at Alserkal Avenue in Dubai. Bringing together eight leading international artists from the Middle East and beyond, the exhibition explores how identity, memory, and experience shift in a world shaped by new technologies.

Drawing on colonial-era photographs of the Middle East, Salaf: Ancestral Seeds uses a StyleGAN3 model trained on a dataset from which orientalist figures have been erased. Generating fluid, white silhouettes, or “seeds”, the work reveals how colonial stereotypes persist and re-emerge through AI, challenging how technology constructs and reproduces cultural identity.
