Bringing together artwork, archival material and architectural research from across the Global South, Guest Relations examines the historical, political, social and cultural transformations accompanying processes of intense touristification. The exhibition emerges out of, and responds to, the context of Dubai – one of the fastest-growing tourism destinations in the world.

As part of group exhibition Guest Relations at Jameel Arts Centre, Shezad Dawood exhibits a newly commissioned hand-glazed ceramic Biosphere (1980), 2023, which represents the Sharjah Intercontinental Hotel, as well as two paintings from Dawood's Integration series Abdeslam et Patrice, 2022, and Edvard, 2022.
