Abhirami Suresh is curator of the Youth Assembly programme for Art Jameel, an independent institution in Dubai dedicated to contemporary art and engaging communities.

She works with the institution’s Learning, Exhibitions and Programming teams to shape learning projects that prioritise youth communities, engagement, and research-collaborations. Her work focuses on creating space for emerging voices and experimental forms of knowledge.

In her personal practice, she was awarded a Young Curator Residency for the Ras Al Khaimah Fine Arts Festival in 2022 to curate the Where We Dwell exhibition, exploring transactional relationships between the individual and the environments they live with and within. She also established the White Lines Collective, a social design inquiry into narratives of mental health among young adults, developing projects since 2019.
