Maryam Bin Bishr, Salma Hani Ali, Nuhaila AlHemeiri

Maryam Bin Bishr, Salma Hani Ali, and Nuhaila AlHemeiri form an interdisciplinary collective working across architecture, art, and design. With a shared background in Architectural Design from the American University of Sharjah, they bring together research, spatial experimentation, and visual storytelling to explore how culture, material, and community shape the built environment. Their practice is rooted in sensitivity to place and a commitment to human-centered design.

Their work begins with close observation of how people inhabit and transform space, viewing materials as carriers of memory, identity, and possibility. By reinterpreting local resources and experimenting with form, structure, and texture, the collective creates installations and objects that bridge tradition and contemporary design thinking. This approach allows them to develop projects that are conceptually grounded, formally precise, and responsive to cultural contexts, emphasizing connection, resonance, and lived experience.

Recent projects include Sila, presented at Dubai Design Week (2024), an installation that explored Arabic identity through material storytelling and spatial interaction. Across their work, the collective aims to strengthen cultural narratives, support communities, and imagine new forms of engagement. Their installations invite viewers to reconsider the relationship between body, memory, and place, creating spaces and objects that foster reflection, dialogue, and possibility.
