There has been an increase in public galleries exhibiting modern art in Saudi Arabia. This is supported by the influx of commercial galleries in the country and a growing grass-roots movement of artists which have acquired international status. Saudi Arabia is making its mark on the contemporary art scene and at the centre of this are women. These artists are noted for pushing at existing boundaries in the socially conservative country. Their work is largely feminist in nature—posing questions on the current political climate and women’s rights. They question existing parameters and challenge proposed gender roles and social norms and use art to express injustices in order to give voice to an otherwise marginalized group.

  • في الآونة الأخيرة، كانت هناك زيادة في المعارض العامة التي تعرض الفن الحديث في المملكة العربية السعودية. هذا مدعوم بتدفق المعارض التجارية وتنامي الحركات الشعبية للفنانين الذين اكتسبوا مكانة دولية. المملكة العربية السعودية تترك بصمتها على المشهد الفني المعاصر، وفي وسط هذا المرأة. يشار إلى أنها تدفع باتجاه الحدود القائمة في البلد المحافظ اجتماعياً. وعملهم ينطوي على طابع نسوي إلى حد كبير يطرح أسئلة حول المناخ السياسي الحالي وحقوق المرأة. وهم يتساءلون عن البارامترات القائمة ويتحدى ون الأدوار والمبادئ الاجتماعية المقترحة للجنسين. يستخدمون الفن للتعبير عن المظالم التي يشعرون بها ويعطون صوتًا لنفسهم المهمشين.
