Dalal Al Mutairi is a multidisciplinary artist and photographer. In August 2025, she will obtain her MA in Photography from the Royal College of Art, supported by a scholarship from the Ministry of Culture.
In May 2025, she participated in an exhibition celebrating London Photo Week at the BBC TV Centre. In 2024, she showcased her work during Misk Art Week, ملامح الرياض, seeing Riyadh. Additionally, she has held local exhibitions in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. In 2022, she was selected for a micro-residency in photography with the Misk Art Foundation, culminating in a successful exhibition at the end of the residency.
Dalal is dedicated to improving her craft and is continually exploring new methods for storytelling and execution. Her project at the RCA seamlessly combines digital writing, archival images, physical materials, and techniques such as stitching, providing the audience with both a digital and tangible experience. She challenges herself by experimenting with various media and materials, which adds depth to her work. Her art explores themes of emotion, memory, and identity, merging visual experimentation with personal reflection to capture fragments of life through both her legs and her hands.
