This bilingual publication features an interview with writer and curator Murtaza Vali, looking at the Bhuta's practice and her interest in working responsively to particular places through her focus on objects and materiality. The artist’s work draws on her personal experiences, memories and philosophical understanding in trying to articulate issues of belonging, security, individuality and change.

Drawn largely from the Art Jameel Collection, Artist’s Rooms is a series of solo exhibitions by influential, innovative artists, with particular focus on practitioners from the Middle East, Asia and Africa. These capsule shows are collaborative and curated in dialogue with the artist.
