Hero
The Berlinische Galerie presents “Hero”, a major solo exhibition by Monira Al Qadiri. The show focuses on her long-standing exploration of the sociocultural, environmental, and political dimensions of the global oil industry. Through a complex ensemble of sculpture, sound, video, and painting, the artist examines how human activity has turned crude oil into an engine of prosperity, but also of exploitation, geopolitical interests, and structural dependencies—a raw material that is inextricably linked to demands for power, inequality, and colonial dynamics.
