Art Dubai's Bawwaba section serves as an entry point for artists, showcasing ten solo presentations from both established and lesser-known creators. Curated by Mirjam Varadinis, this year's theme focuses on coexistence, reflecting art's capacity to foster dialogue between cultures. Featured artists include Omar Mismar, who blends ancient mosaic techniques with commentary on war; Mohammad Piryaee's intense drawings that explore destruction; and Tomás Saraceno's hanging sculptures that envision futuristic cloud cities. The works, created recently, underscore the fair’s commitment to innovative and thought-provoking art.
"I felt this would be a good moment to reflect on the idea of co-existence. Art cannot change the world, but it has a potential to come up with new ways of thinking and to build a bridge between different cultures."
