I spent ten months in residence at @sihldelta working on my first monograph which comes out early next year. The space was formerly a multi-faith place of worship. The first time I entered the space, I found the one remnant of its former use: a Qibla permanently cemented into the floor, pointing prayers to the direction of Mecca. It was a beautiful womb for creation, collaboration, hydration, staring at the wall, and dreaming on the floor. All of which is required for making a book. I spent a lot of time in that space with my grandmother, Khadijah, who passed away during my first months in residence, and my great grandmother, Aisha, who inspired the book I made. The space hosted so many beautiful encounters and discussions. I felt so much care and support from @2arah.w and @sebastianstadler.jpg. A lot of magic was made in that space. Thank you. Swipe to the last slide for the first ever book review!!

I really like this one 🥲 Infinite Loop Of Desires. 18 min. Commissioned by @sihlcity @sihldelta @2arah.w described the piece nicely: In the video Yumna examines the mall’s environment and weaves together the aesthetics of advertising and surveillance. The work explores the possibility of private and genuine moments in an environment designed specifically for commercial profit while inviting viewers to think about their position in a world that knows their desires before they do. Production: @hillton_ Edit/Magician: @yonca.sophia Color: @olischmocker PA: @mariskavanlavieren
