Sara Al Haddad, (b. Dubai, 1988), is an artist based in the United Arab Emirates whose practice is centered around yarn and fiber, utilizing techniques such as crocheting and stitching to craft objects that are versatile in their ability to be hung, wrapped, piled, arranged, and stretched within a space. Sara's artistic philosophy encompasses not only the creation of tangible pieces but also a reflective approach to her craft. She views her art as a means to explore and interpret various situations, events, and the emotions associated with them. At the core of her creative process lies a profound need to approach these elements with curiosity, allowing for analysis, commemoration, and eventual materialization through her work.
Sara Al Haddad, a Fulbright Scholar at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, earned her MFA in Sculpture in 2016 following her graduation from The American University in Dubai in 2011. Her recent exhibitions include solo shows such as "forget, to remember" at Cuadro Gallery, Dubai (2018), and participation in group exhibitions like "Women Defining Women In Contemporary Art of the Middle East and Beyond" at the Resnick Pavilion, Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), USA (2023), "The Magical Number 7 +/- Two" at Meem Gallery, Dubai (2019), and "Rock, Paper, Scissors: Positions in Play" at the United Arab Emirates National Pavilion during the 57th Venice Biennale (2017).
