Berlin-based Kuwaiti artist Monira Al Qadiri presents a major pictorial intervention on the large foyer wall of Kunsthaus Baselland. Her work explores the global dependence on oil and the resulting ecological and social consequences through speculative future scenarios.
In this significant site-specific commission, Monira Al Qadiri addresses the complex relationship between the Gulf states' oil production and our collective global reliance on fossil fuels. Her work serves as a critical reflection on the environmental and social ramifications inherent in these systems, translating abstract economic and historical forces into a powerful, evocative visual language. By imagining speculative future scenarios, Al Qadiri challenges viewers to confront the environmental realities of our present. The installation invites audiences to engage with these urgent themes in the context of the museum's architecture, emphasizing the interplay between the artist’s inquiry into resource dependence and the broader ecological conditions that shape contemporary existence.
