Artist Lubna Chowdhary's diverse background plays a critical influence on her exhibition Metropolis, which is on display at Jameel Arts Centre. Born in Tanzania to a family of Indian origin, raised in the United Kingdom and with roots in Pakistan, Chowdhary's patchwork lineage reflects the incorporation and distortion of global design systems. The collection comprises 1,000 handmade clay sculptures built over a period of 26 years. They reflect monuments and cityscapes that don't belong to one distinct culture, exploring the materiality of urban environments. Under the new guidelines, visitors will have to to book a two-hour slot in advance to explore the galleries.
