Zahrah Al Ghamdi

Zahrah Al Ghamdi (Arabic: زهرة الغامدي) is a Saudi Arabian visual and land artist, as well as an assistant professor at the College of Art and Design at the University of Jeddah.

[1][2] Al Ghamdi grew up in Al-Baha in the south-west of the Kingdom and her experience of domestic architecture there informs her artistic practice.

[3] Al Ghamdi's artistic practice centres around large-scale pieces inspired and driven by women's experiences of life and craft in the home.

In 2017, al Ghamdi created a site-specific land art installation in the Great Court at the British Museum, covering 30 square metres with a village of sand and memory.

[6] The installation was made up of 52,000 pieces of re-worked leather inspired by organic forms, her home in Al-Baha and Aseeri ornaments.
