UNITY IN 7

Each exhibition will explore this theme through various artistic mediums, showcasing the unique perspectives and talents of local and international artists.
Unity in 7 is not mere exhibitions; it’s about celebrating unity through individuality, togetherness and collaboration. By exploring the unique cultures, heritage, and significance they hold, we celebrate the diversity that enriches our global community. The UAE is a nation known for its diverse population living in harmony, showcasing unity through its rich cultural mosaic. Through this project, we aim to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of uniqueness while recognizing the common threads that unite us all.
These exhibitions will evoke reflection and connection by:
