Layan Attari (*1990, Kuwait) is a Palestinian artist whose practice is concerned with the permeable landscapes of the natural and the unnatural. She is interested in locating the origins and implications of different conceptions of nature and how they manifest within urban spaces, primarily in the Middle East. Currently based out of Chicago and Sharjah, her practice spans various media including photography, sound, and moving image. Attari’s work has been featured in several group exhibitions including Branding Conflict at Space 204 Gallery, Nashville, TN (2022); Total Landscaping at Warehouse421, Abu Dhabi (2021); Forming Outlines at Fikra Studios, Sharjah (2020); Plant, Animal, Mineral at Art Dubai, Dubai (2021). She has participated in the Campus Art Dubai 8.0 residency program (2020), Fikra Designer-in-Residence (2020), and is a recipient of the Salama bint Hamdan Emerging Artist Fellowship, in partnership with the Rhode Island School of Design (2018-2019).
