CCA Introducing: Eslam Abd El Salam

CCA Derry~Londonderry are excited to present our next CCA Introducing takeover with Belfast-based visual artist Eslam Abd El Salam on Friday 29 March 2024. Eslam was nominated by Digital Programmes Coordinator Cecelia Graham for this takeover, which preludes Eslam spending time in CCA's Project Space in the coming months.
Eslam's work focuses on walking as a pedagogical practice, and is centred around the body: the body in motion, in contact with nature, and in the presence of other bodies.
Through the mediums of analogue photography, polaroids, text and mixed media, Eslam considers notions of synchronicity in relation to friendship and serendipitous encounters with others. His photography often takes place in domestic settings, spaces in which playfulness and vulnerability are combined. Deeply embedded in spirituality, Eslam’s work expands on what it means to surrender to the present moment, with others and in nature, and with intuition as a guiding principle.
Embracing naivety in all its forms, Eslam’s work views openness as a means of creating mutual recognition.
Check back in on our Instagram tomorrow @CCADLD to follow Eslam's takeover.
