Ammar Al Attar

Ammar Al Attar is a photographer and mixed media artist based between Sharjah and Ajman in the United Arab Emirates.  

Completely self-taught, Al Attar’s practice seeks to not only document and translate but also methodically research and examine aspects of Emirati ritual, material culture, and geographic orientation that are increasingly elusive in his rapidly globalising society.

Al Attar’s work has been shown within the  UAE and across the Gulf, and is held in prestigious public and  private collections including Sharjah Art Foundation, Barjeel Art Foundation, and Maraya Art Centre, the forthcoming Zayed National Museum. He is represented by Cuadro Gallery in Dubai.
