Bombon Projects

Bombon Projects is a contemporary art gallery based in Barcelona since February 2017, which also operates in other contexts such as international art fairs and off-site projects. In 2025, Bombon opened a new space in Madrid in collaboration with the Crisis gallery (Peru). The gallery functions as an ecosystem in which the artists, the team behind it, and collaborators interact and coexist, prioritizing the collective sustainability of the project itself. Bombon is a context of trust that gives rise to intuitions, risks, sensitivities, and empathies conveyed through contemporary artistic languages.

Bombon’s aim has been to develop a project — originally in Barcelona and now also in Madrid — with an international outlook that works closely with artists, thereby contributing to strengthening the local art scene. The gallery currently represents a generation of local and international artists, through a program that also focuses attention on historical artists from the surrounding context.

Mounira Al Solh works across textile, painting, drawing and installation, drawing on personal narratives to reflect on memory, migration, feminism and the lasting effects of conflict. Her practice often begins with lived experience, connecting intimate stories to broader historical and political realities.

The exhibition centres on Nami Nami Noooom, Yalla Tnaaam ("Sleep, Sleep, Sleep, Let's Sleep"), a textile installation that revisits a childhood memory from the Lebanese Civil War. Kept awake by nightly bombardments, Al Solh was encouraged by her mother to stitch around small holes she had cut into her pyjamas as a way to cope with fear and anxiety through the calming act of sewing. Years later, she transformed this gesture into a collective embroidery project with women in Lebanon and the Netherlands, leaving the openings visible with colorful embroidery. Alongside the installation, the exhibition includes textile works, cut-out paintings and drawings that extend these reflections on memory, dreams and the ways personal experiences are carried across time and place.
