CONTINUUM '25 is the first instalment in an annual exhibition series at Diriyah Art Futures, highlighting the work of creative practitioners in the institution's Emerging New Media Artist programme, starting from 13 September to 15 November 2025.

Discover how art and technology can coexist at the cutting-edge Continuum '25 art exhibition. Eleven up-and-coming artists from around the globe have their works on display at Diriyah Art Futures (DAF). The inaugural edition showcases eleven artists who developed critical ideas and work at Diriyah Art Futures, utilising seminars, talks, workshops, screenings, and creative exchange. Moreover, the cohort, alongside mentors Anna Ridler and Karen Palmer, created major artworks, including immersive installations, sound, screen-based work, virtual reality, and AI-generated projects, showcasing their diverse skills. Diriyah Art Futures is dedicated to promoting innovation in New Media Art in the MENA region and beyond. In addition, the exhibition explores themes such as memory, identity, displacement, climate change, ethics, and algorithmic power through visually striking and thought-provoking works. Likewise, it is an environment that will force you to think about the effects of a world that is becoming more and more mediated, as well as the opportunities for introspection, healing, and renewal in it. Furthermore, Saudi artists Khaled Makshoush and Turki AlQahtani, Jordanian artist Aya Abu Ghazaleh, Tunisian artist Dhia Dhibi, South Korean artist Junsoo Kim, and South African artist Kyle Donald Marais are taking part in Continuum '25. Bahraini artist Mohamed Al Mubarak, Egyptian artist Salma Aly, Algerian artist Samia Dzar, Welsh artist William Brooks, and Moroccan artist Youssef El Idrissi are participating in Continuum '25, too. They are open Monday through Friday, Saturday at 11:00 AM, and Friday at 4:00 PM, and closed on Sundays. Read more: Two Swords and a Palm: The Saudi Emblem Archive
