Visit an art exhibition at Manarat al Saadiyat

The Photography Studio at Manarat Al Saadiyat is presenting ‘Khaleejiness’ in collaboration with SWALIF Publishing House. The exhibition is based on ‘Encapsulated Volume 1: Photo-Essays on Khaleejiness’. The story is told through photographs, installations and videos of a newer generation, focusing on their photo-essays and personal exploration of Khaleejiness. Khaleeji means ‘of the Gulf’ and Khaleejiness is an exploration of Khaleeji identity as a multi-faceted, ever-changing feature of reality. There are works by 12 photographers at the exhibit. Tickets cost Dhs20 and can be booked here.
