ABOUT / ALI ABULHASSAN

THE STORIES
I CARE ABOUT.

I’m interested in the person behind the artwork: their experience, the place that shaped them, and the details that make their story their own. I find stories in Saudi culture and art that deserve a closer look. I want to bring them to a wider audience while preserving the voices and identities of the people who tell them.

My perspective and the work I want to make

I want to share my own understanding of the place I have lived in, telling stories I have experienced and witnessed through my view of its people, culture and everyday life. I care about the message and feeling an image carries: how it expresses what I have seen and been moved by, and lets a viewer see a place through my eyes. My interest in Saudi culture and art comes from this relationship with the place and my experience within it. I want to keep developing my visual language, using filmmaking tools and new technologies to expand the stories I can tell.
