On Friday 4 April, Dana Awartani will be speaking at the 2025 Verbier Art Summit. The 2025 Summit presents a series of Talks, Debates and a Cultural programme exploring the geopolitical, digital, human, and institutional dimensions of the art world.

This year’s edition is curated by Philip Tinari, director of the UCCA Center for Contemporary Art in China, and brings together leading artists, writers, curators and scholars to engage with the pressing theme: 'QUARTER LIFE CRISIS. Art in a World on the Brink.' The Summit will examine how art can foster cultural resilience and deeper understanding amid geopolitical realignments, rapid technological shifts, and evolving notions of identity.

Dana Awartani engages in critical and contemporary reinterpretations of the forms, techniques, concepts and spatial constructs that shape Arab culture. Steeped in a multitude of historical references, especially Islamic and Middle Eastern art-making traditions, Dana's practice straddles continuity and innovation, aesthetic experimentation and social relevance.

Friday 4 April, 11am – 11:30am
W Verbier, 70 Rue de Médran 1936 Val de Bagnes, Switzerland
