Emirati artist Farah Al Qasimi has won the Louis Roederer Discovery Award 2021.
Al Qasimi, who lives and works in New York, will join 10 shortlisted candidates in exhibiting work at the opening week of the upcoming Rencontres d’Arles, an annual photography festival held in France.
The Discovery Award is part of the festival’s programme and is given to artists who focus on photography. The opening week for Rencontres d’Arles is scheduled for July.
Al Qasimi, who is represented by Dubai’s The Third Line and New York’s Helena Anrather, is known for her unique and vivid images of the Gulf, capturing everyday details that we otherwise might miss. Her recent photographic projects have also investigated jinn folklore in the UAE in quirky and memorable ways.
