Tafasahu: Make Room is an exhibition that showcases a commissioned installation by Saudi architect and artist, Nada AlMulla, which invites you to enter as a guest—to pause, gather and reflect on the conditions of belonging within the context of the traditional Majlis, Arabic for  "gathering space." 

 Beyond being a place to receive and host guests, the Majlis has  been a vessel for the transmission of knowledge and heritage. The installation deconstructs this space into its essential elements while centering stories, memories and subtle traces of everyday life that animated it: conversations shared over coffee, the lingering scent of incense, the rhythms of gathering and departure.  

Hospitality is not framed as a social custom, but as a living inheritance continuously formed through objects, gestures and spatial practices carried across generations.

 

This exhibit is open from May 18, 2026 to March 20, 2027.
