Regional Highlights

-
Zawyeh Gallery, one of the first independent galleries dedicated to supporting Palestinian artists, will present new and recent works by Mahmoud Alhaj and Yazan Abu Salameh, who uses cardboard and ink to depict dense urban environments illuminated by symbolic, vibrant suns, capturing both the intensity and poetry of the built environment.
Solo Debuts
Among the highlights are presentations by creatives showcasing their works to the Middle East audience for the first time.
- Dubai-based artist Ila Colombo unveils States of Becoming, her first consolidated exhibition combining digital, sculptural, and print-based works exploring metamorphosis and transformation.

Activations & Talks
- In honour of the UAE’s Year of Community and the 50th Jubilee of the Deaf Arab Community, Maseer Collective and Aeon Fine Jewellery collaborate to spotlight Arabic Sign Language through design. Their activation includes a limited-edition necklace capsule and live Emirati Sign Language sessions, celebrating creativity as a shared language of belonging.

Under The Artist is (not) Present, Swiss artist Tobias Gutmann introduces Sai Bot, his AI twin, trained on thousands of hand-drawn portraits from his decade-long Face-o-mat project. At Editions, visitors can sit for a portrait drawn live by the AI, a reflection on presence, absence and what happens when human connection meets algorithmic logic.
