Creative reflections on transformation, resilience, and hope in uncertain times.
This exhibition gathered voices from across the Gulf to reflect on transformation amid crisis. Through photography, digital art, gouache, oil painting, and mixed media, a diverse group of emerging Khaleeji artists shared personal narratives of adaptation, resilience, and societal shifts during the pandemic. Each artwork became a visual diary, moments of change captured in brushstroke, pixel, and lens. The digital exhibition invited audiences to witness not only how artists interpreted evolving circumstances, but also how creativity can navigate uncertainty. In presenting these works, the exhibition affirmed art’s role as a catalyst for reflection and collective healing.
Visitors can now view a selection of some of the works that were originally exhibited.
