On the occasion of the exhibition Mutant Passages, the first museum publication on the work of Monira Al Qadiri is now being issued. In addition to featuring documentation on her KUB exhibition and her newly created works, the catalogue also sheds light on numerous older projects by the artist, thus offering a comprehensive overview of her diverse oeuvre for the first time. In reflective colors, the large-scale hardcover book evokes the radiance of Al Qadiri’s expansive dazzling sculptures. Scholarly and literary texts by Jana Baumann, Shumon Basar, Amal Khalaf and Murtaza Vali offer new incisive perspectives into Al Qadiri’s work.
