Moza Almatrooshi
(b. 1991, Dubai) In her practice, Moza Almatrooshi looks at narratives from ancient and contemporary mythologies in the Arabian Peninsula. This culminates in fictions and metaphors derived from regional food production practices and food politics. In 2019, Almatrooshi obtained a Master of Fine Arts from the Slade School of Fine Art (UK) and a diploma in culinary arts from ICCA Dubai (UAE) in 2020. Her artworks have been performed in the Victoria & Albert Museum (London), selected by the ICA and BBC for the New Creatives project, and displayed in the second Lahore Biennale. Her writings have been published in ArabLit Quarterly, and by the Contemporary Image Collective in Cairo. She is currently a faculty fellow in the Sheikha Salama Emerging Artists Fellowship in Abu Dhabi, UAE. Almatrooshi is the recipient of the Warehouse 421 Artistic Research Grant (2021–2022).
