Our participation contributes to highlighting the emirate’s civilisation and enhancing its position as a global centre for culture, an incubator for creativity and a thriving hub for talent, as well as encourages cultural tourism to the emirate.”

“Dubai Culture also takes the exhibition as an opportunity to celebrate artists, both citizens and residents, in line with our strategic priority to support talents and provide innovative platforms to present their creativity to a global audience and provide them with new horizons for growth and prosperity, affirming the emirate’s position as a hub for the launch of creative, cultural and artistic energies. This will also attract artists, entrepreneurs and investors in creative works from around the world to benefit from the opportunities for growth and prosperity offered by the city, which, in turn, contributes to supplying the creative industries in the emirate, leading to achieving the objectives of the Dubai Creative Economy Strategy that aims to make Dubai the global capital of the creative economy by 2026,” Badri added.

During her visit to ATM, Badri visited the stands of Dubai’s Department of Economy and Tourism, Dubai Police, General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs – Dubai, Emirates Airlines, and Abu Dhabi Tourism. Badri also toured Dubai Culture’s stand, where she experienced an art exhibition organised by the Authority in the VIP corner that includes artworks from talented Emirati and UAE-based artists.

The exhibition includes four original paintings and a sculpture from the ‘Al Gargour’ series by Emirati artist Khaled Al Banna, whose ideas are inspired by the bright colours of traditional women’s clothing and Gulf fishing nets in cooperation with MORROW Collective. The exhibition also includes two paintings by Emirati visual artist, photographer and sculptor Mattar bin Lahej: ‘Khair Alkalam Fan’ through which the artist highlights examples and wisdom systems, creating a distinctive artistic method for translating such phrases in a new style and concept, and ‘Khair Al Ard’, in which the artist uses natural sand to simulate the earth, briefly describing the human relationship with the earth.
