On the Work
The work interrogates equality and belonging through the repeated phrase “I am human” in multiple languages, questioning why our shared humanity is often the first thing denied. I Am Human Copy I–III is a photographic series created in Yemen in 2014, confronting the quiet hierarchies that determine how people are valued.

Amr Attamimi
His dreamlike visual language is shaped by personal history, migration, imagination, and the experience of navigating cultural and emotional boundaries.
Amr Attamimi is a Yemeni self-taught artist born in 1990. His journey into art began in 2010 through photography, where he discovered a deep connection to visual storytelling and the power of sharing images both locally and online. Over time, Amr gradually embraced his creative instincts, allowing curiosity and passion to guide his artistic evolution.
As his practice developed, photography became less about documentation and more about self-expression and questioning. Moving through multiple phases of exploration, his work evolved into a distinctive dreamlike and contemporary visual language. Growing up in an environment where artistic expression often faces cultural limitations, his art emerged as a personal refuge, a space to process emotion, imagination, and lived experience. His work is deeply influenced by the meeting point between inner worlds and outer realities, as well as the environments he inhabits.
Amr’s work has been exhibited internationally, including in Yemen, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, the United Kingdom, and the United States, with exhibitions such as the Middle East Institute in Washington, DC. His work has also been featured in publications including Le Monde and Al-Monitor.
Since relocating to London in 2015, Amr has balanced his professional career as a consultant with an ongoing artistic practice. Through his work, he continues to explore themes of identity, memory, belonging, diasporic life, and the challenges of self-expression.
