ON HOPE: INANNA'S REVOLUTION
HALIM AL KARIM
Iraqi artist Halim Al Karim explores the fierce power of mythic beauty across time and culture — a force of sensual and spiritual nourishment that gives birth to hope. This is not gentle softness, but the electric vibrancy of untamed beauty that tears at our flesh, pierces our gaze, and stands in defiance of injustice with proud hands on hips. Through beauty, we feast on hope.
Al Karim’s large-scale photography honors the Sumerian mythology of Inanna, who suffered in the depths of darkness, only to return to the fullness of her power with a glint of garnet in her eyes. At its core, his work is an offering to the Age of the New Romantics — the nourishment of small wonders, small pleasures, and the wink of humor and beauty that can always be found in any moment.
OPENING FRI FEB 14, 6-9PM


ART, OBJECTS & EDITIONS
DISPATCHES FROM THE GLOBAL SOUTH
Friday exists to enable the discovery of rising creative voices from the Global South, curating art, objects, and editions from across the Middle East, South Asia, and beyond. Our space blends an art gallery with a design concept store to create a rotating seasonal platform celebrating brown artists, designers, and artisans.

FRIDAY IS A HOME FOR THE FOREVER CURIOUS
Each Friday season is anchored in a rotating theme, with the art, fashion, and object curation bound together in a shared spirit.
From South Asian maximalism, to the surrealist visions of feminist Iraqi photographers, to queer gothic brujas in Mexico, we peel back old divides to celebrate the cultural voices of tomorrow.
