We are delighted that four of our gallery's artists - Eman Al Hashemi, Alia Hussain Lootah, Ammar Al Attar, and Taqwa Al Hashemi - are part of the Dubai Calligraphy Biennale Exhibition 2023 at the Foundry Downtown Dubai.
Dubai Culture & Arts Authority (Dubai Culture) presents the inaugural edition of Dubai Calligraphy Biennale (DCB). Launching in October 2023 with the participation of creatives and calligraphers worldwide, it aims to promote creative cultural dialogues, keep calligraphic artwork at the forefront of Arab world output and provide a platform for the best of the discipline. Based on the new biennale strategy, the Authority will launch city-wide activities and exhibitions across several cultural locations, libraries, art galleries, and other partner and stakeholder venues to enable access for different communities and audiences.
To elevate the calligraphy landscape in Dubai, the biennale will showcase art from a variety of languages and cultures. The event will be comprised of art and design exhibitions, supplemented with dynamic activations, including public art installations. The programming will also encompass workshops, talks, masterclasses, and panel discussions, encouraging a vibrant and educational atmosphere.
Date: 1 – 31 October 2023
