The Whitney Museum of New York presents a captivating work by Farah Al Qasimi, on view from January 30 to August 1, 2027. The artist explores the deep connections between American industry, petroleum and automotive culture, and Arab immigration. This large-scale video project, filmed through Michigan, Texas, and the East Coast, offers a bold narrative: the story is told through the eyes of a jinn, or spirit. This unprecedented approach fuses fictional narratives, documentary sequences, and real testimonies. It’s a poetic and critical immersion into complex socio-historical themes, offering an original reflection on heritage and identity.
