Curator Dr. Omar Kholeif walks through 'Finding My Blue Sky' at Lisson Gallery London

Finding My Blue Sky is an exhibition conceived as a constellation, at once epic and polyglot, personal and searchingly political. Curated by Dr. Omar Kholeif, this ambitious group show at Lisson Gallery, features over thirty intergenerational artists whose work has been brought together from around the globe, wrapping around both of the Gallery's London spaces, its courtyards, as well as the street.

Finding my Blue Sky is an invitation to embrace the biographical and cultural nuances that make humans different—the overlapping details found in personal narratives: it is at one level a self-reflective statement, akin to a diary or memoir, evolving out of Kholeif’s formative interactions and evolving encounters with artists, narrated through lived experience.

Developed as a conversation with the urban sphere surrounding the gallery, the exhibition celebrates the diasporic experience, arguing that nomadism can encapsulate an embodied space of tender and loving kinship.
