Curatorial Work
Saria is the Assistant to Chief Curator at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City. Before the Guggenheim, Saria worked with collectives, galleries, and pop-ups on various curatorial projects. Saria’s independent research focuses on Syrian artists.
Saria juried the 17th Annual Texas Artists Coalition's Exhibition. The Coalition is a program founded by the Fort Worth Community Center to support the career development of emerging artists with an annual exhibition. In this one, the exhibition explored themes of memory, home, and the post-pandemic state.
Tayf is an ongoing project dedicated to exhibiting Syrian artists globally. Currently in its early research stages, with an exhibit planned for 2024.
"She Comes From Syria" was a Berlin/London exhibition of handmade dolls that were sewn by women in refugee camps during the siege of East Damascus. Saria was a curatorial and design advisor for this project.
Saria was one of five jurors chosen by Near Southside, Inc. to choose a local Fort Worth artist to recreate the historical sign for Massey's Restaurant as the space was getting renovated to become a community art gallery.
"Once A Day Swallow A Small Sun," a group online exhibition (due to the pandemic) was curated by Third Space DFW Collective. Saria at the time was part of the curatorial collective.
