What does a composite image of a year in the life of Dr. O a.k.a Omar Kholeif look like? 

A free-wheeling bonanza spent in constant movement, in searching, and in longing, for a home?

2022, post-pandemic, Dr. Kholeif travelled from their childhood home of Glasgow, Scotland to their adopted home of Los Angeles, California, weaving in and out of Sharjah, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Hamburg, Paris, Maastricht, New York and London, and back again, in an endless cyclical loop, carrying all of their possessions (their Pop Shop, with them). Is a final landing place ever to present itself? Here you get to own a deeply personal and intimate portrait. This is topography, indeed, a fragment of a world from a dizzying year in the life of an avatar, who has helped shape the face of contemporary visual culture in the 21st century.

Dr Omar Kholeif CF FRSA aka Dr. O is an author of prose and poetry, a historian of the academy and its peripheries and a curator of vanquished and suppressed archives. They have worked as a broadcaster, filmmaker, editor, publisher, and museum director. Over the last two decades, their work has concentrated on the evolving nature of networked image culture in relation to intersectional questions emerging in the field and study of ethnicity, race, and gender. Their lines of inquiry have come to life in over 60 exhibitions, and in nearly 40 authored, co-authored, and/or edited books, which have been translated into 12 languages.
