Eman Al Hashemi Emiratis, b. 1993

Born in 1993, Eman Al Hashemi is a multidisciplinary artist based between Sharjah and Abu Dhabi. Al Hashemi works across ceramics, printmaking, painting and installation. Her practice constructs imagined environments through which she considers the temporal conditions of contemporary life—transformation, repetition and delay.

Working through processes that are deliberately material, handmade and labour-intensive, Al Hashemi examines the relationship between time, labour and automation. Waiting and slowness become both subjects and methods, allowing processes of making, repetition and transformation to unfold as part of the work itself. Through this sustained engagement with material and time, Al Hashemi’s practice considers what it means to remain human within an increasingly automated world.

Eman earned her BA in Fine Arts from the University of Sharjah in 2016, and MFA in Cermaics from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2023. She currently teaches full-time at the College of Fine Arts and Design at the University of Sharjah and continues to develop her practise through walking, observing, documenting, and striving to make sense of the world we live in today.
