Farah Al Qasimi: Psychic Repair

Emirati photographer and musician Farah Al Qasimi presents her solo exhibition "Psychic Repair" at the SCAD Museum of Art in Savannah, Georgia, running from January to June 7, 2026. Curated by SCAD Museum Associate Curator Brittany Richmond, the show explores self-presentation and consumerism through staged domestic interiors, vinyl works, framed photographs, and music videos. Key pieces include "Beauty Salon" (2024), "Aquarium" (2024), "Clothing Store" (2023), and "Painting and Astroturf" (2023), which appropriate signifiers of the attention economy. The exhibition is strategically positioned to respond to Savannah's history as a port city built on trade in cotton, indigo, rice, and enslaved people, with the museum itself occupying a former railway depot made of Savannah Gray brick produced by enslaved laborers.
