CURRENT & UPCOMING

From 22 November 2025 – 12 April 2026, ‘ERASURE’ will launch at Goodwood Art Foundation featuring Laís Amaral, Solange Pessoa and Dana Awartani. Presented across the Foundation’s two gallery spaces it will bring together three international artists whose work confronts the intertwined destruction of ecological systems and cultural heritage. Through painting, sculpture, installation and moving image, the exhibition deals with prescient themes such as deforestation, cultural extraction and the erasure of histories, inviting visitors to reflect on the steps we can take towards more sustainable and equitable futures.

Palestinian Saudi artist Dana Awartani​ ​will present I Went Away And Forgot You. A While Ago I Remembered. I Remembered I’d Forgotten You. I Was Dreaming (2017), an installation named after a poem by Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish. A geometric floor composition in coloured sand, recalling Islamic tilework and sacred geometries, is paired with a single-channel film of the artist sweeping away the work’s recreation in an abandoned house in Jeddah that was built in the European architectural style. It is a meditation on cultural destruction and the fragility of the natural world.
