Parallel Kingdom

The Station Museum of Contemporary Art presents the major exhibition Parallel Kingdom: Contemporary Art from Saudi Arabia, a cross generational survey of contemporary art from the Saudi Arabian peninsula. This exhibition provides insights into Saudi culture through the creativity and vision of some the most influential Saudi artists of the 21st century, alongside younger voices from the fields of art, comedy and film.

Parallel Kingdom seeks to use a visual language and the first hand accounts of Saudi artists, to lay a new foundation for discourse and understanding of Saudi society, culture and politics. Parallel Kingdom marks the launch of a multi-city tour of the United States to generate people-to-people dialogue and better understanding between Saudi Arabia and the United States. The tour, which was initiated by Culturrunners in partnership with the Riyadh based Gharem Studio, will launch in Houston, considered one of the most important cities in America for art, education and cultural innovation. Participating artists will showcase some of the latest developments in cultural practise emerging from the Arabian Peninsula, while at the same time reacting to local and national conversations in the United States.
