The Studio
Hanan Bahamdan Studio is the artist’s private working studio and the home of her artistic practice.
The Studio extends Hanan's practice and the artist's enduring fascination with human connection. Just as Hanan began exhibiting from her home in Riyadh in the 1990s, she continues to open her private space to others consciously, welcoming artists, students, and guests to share in the experience of art and making.
Alongside inviting sitters into the studio as subjects, Hanan regularly opens its doors to guests, creating a space for the exchange of ideas, critical thinking and creativity. Throughout the year, the Studio hosts talks, workshops, panels, in-conversations and cultural gatherings.

Teaching, Workshops, Events

Hanan's experience as an art therapist informs her approach to teaching and working with others. She was certified as an Art Therapist in 2020 by the Tobias School of Art and Therapy. The workshops and programmes at the Studio reflect her belief in art's therapeutic power to heal and nurture.
