Sulafa Mohammed is an Emirati artist working with textile techniques and crocheting. Her practice draws inspiration from strategies of archiving and documentation, aiming to transform seemingly overlooked and insignificant details from daily life into meaningful artworks.

Exploring the intersection between craft, numbers and personal history, Sulafa's work captures fleeting and profound experiences. She is particularly drawn to the ephemeral - fading rituals, transient exchanges - a reflection of life's impermanence. Sulafa engages with the existential idea that meaning is not given but created through action and the passage of time. Grounded in her upbringing in Dubai, a city of constant transformation, Sulafa’s practice reflects the tension between permanence and change. Her work invites reflection on the invisible histories carried by people, materials and places, using textile art to stitch together fragmented memories, overlooked details and collective stories, creating gestures of permanence.

Sulafa’s work has been part of 'On the Move', XVA Gallery, UAE (2024); ‘WIE Kollektiv: Where I End’, Backhaus Projects, Germany (2023); ‘Common Imprint’, Berlin Summer University, Germany (2023); ‘Naqd Critique Sessions’, Dubai, UAE (2023); ‘Made in Tashkeel 2023’, Tashkeel, UAE (2023); The Institute Crits (Online), The Institute of Emerging Art, UAE (2023). She was a resident at the Abu Dhabi Cultural Foundation from April to October 2024. Sulafa has hosted performances of her work in Dubai, UAE (2024). She has attended art courses in Germany and the UAE, and lives and works in Dubai, UAE.
