Assim Mohamed
Exhibitionist Planning & Production Senior Specialist — Department of Culture & Tourism
Mohamed Areef Albadwi is an architect, multidisciplinary artist, and Exhibition Planning & Production Senior Specialist at the Department of Culture & Tourism. Based in Abu Dhabi, he is known for a practice that brings together architecture, geometry, and calligraphy to create contemporary visual work shaped by spatial thinking and storytelling.
His work spans installation, mixed media, and sculptural interventions, often exploring identity, shifting perspectives, displacement, memory, and belonging. He also founded TheHub.Sdn in 2019, a platform that supports artists and creative practitioners while strengthening the local visual arts community through exchange and engagement.
At SACC, he will bring this cross-disciplinary perspective to Comic and Anime Character Creation with MECOT & ADAC, offering insights into how visual language, form, and narrative can shape compelling character-driven worlds.
