Augustine Paredes is a Dubai-based artist and photographer whose lyrical and contemporary narratives are derived from his travels, South East Asian consciousness and queer gaze. His series, including Am I Driving Safely, If Not Please Call, examines Abu Dhabi’s Mina Zayed port, capturing the transient lives of the truckers who transport goods to and from the port to destinations across the Arab world, providing a snapshot of the human face of globalization. He has exhibited in the Philippines, Malaysia, Latvia, Australia, and is an alumnus of the Salama Bint Hamdan Emerging Artist Fellowship, Campus Art Dubai, and International Summer School of Photography. He is the author of two self-published books and co-founder of Sa Tahanan Co., a Dubai-based collective for the global Filipino diaspora.
