The exhibition explores the relationship between body, space, and geometry, and is positioned at the intersection of art, design, and philosophy. Body Geometry invites the viewer to experience the connection between the human body and geometric form in a new way, and also shows the design process that the artist follows. This exhibition follows Hemmati’s participation in Dubai Design Week and two editions of the DIFC Sculpture Park, and will be open to the public from 9-31 October 2025 in Satellite Gallery, DIFC.

To mark the visit, the Kalimat Foundation donated a portable children’s library to Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) as part of its ‘Pledge a Library’ initiative. The library, featuring 100 Arabic and English books, aims to inspire curiosity and creativity for young patients receiving treatment at the hospital, and give them the chance to escape from their reality into a world of imagination and dreams, filled with warmth and joy.

“We believe stories have the power to heal and connect. Through the Pledge a Library initiative, Kalimat Foundation seeks to give children hope when they need it the most. In a place focused on healing the body, stories help heal the heart and mind. We hope these books offer a moment of calm and joy during a difficult time,” said H.H. Sheikha Bodour bint Sultan Al Qasimi, Founder and Chairperson of Kalimat Foundation.
