Yayoi Kusama: My Soul Blooms Forever

Events Details

The work of Yayoi Kusama (Japan, b. 1929) has transcended two of the most significant art movements of the second half of the twentieth century: Pop and Minimalism. Her highly influential career spans paintings, performances, room-size presentations, outdoor sculptural installations, literary works, poetry, film, fashion, design, and interventions within existing architectural structures, which allude at once to microscopic and macroscopic universes.

Date and Timings:

• 20 November 2022 – 1 March 2023 from 10 am - 8 pm

Location: Throughout MIA Park and Al Riwaq.

My Soul Blooms Forever is the largest outdoor exhibition of its kind to take place in the Gulf region.
