Dubai Culture & Arts Authority in partnership with holding company Meraas, recently held the opening ceremony to mark the Dubai debut of international art exhibition titled ‘Streets of the World.’

Known as the world’s largest photo exhibition, Streets of the World will run from January 21 to April 5 at Al Seef, the bustling waterfront promenade by Meraas, before setting off on a world tour in cities like Paris, London, Berlin, and New York.

Saeed Al Nabouda, acting director general at Dubai Culture said: “Participating in such an important event is an honour in itself, but the privilege of having it debut in Dubai’s Al Seef, a vibrant historical and cultural landmark that has played an important role in the city’s contemporary renaissance, is a source of great pride for us.”

 “The exhibition is being held as part of ‘Dubai Art Season,’ a two-month (March and April) citywide showcase of flagship events that highlights the city’s position in the global arts scene and brings together creative talent from around the world for an unmatched celebration of talent, creativity, innovation, and cultural diversity. Streets of the World will host more than 200 nationalities, aligning with the vision of Dubai Culture and enhancing Dubai’s role as a multicultural society to spread values of art and inclusion,” he added.

The opening ceremony featured a multitude of activities for VIPs, Excellencies, and members of the media from across the region and beyond, including a private exhibition tour, an opening address by Dutch photographer Jeroen Swolfs, speeches by Saeed Al Nabouda and Hamad Buamim, president & CEO of Dubai Chamber along with an awards ceremony where the winners of the ‘Soul of Dubai’ and the ‘Spirit of the Trade’ competitions were announced.

The exhibition was inaugurated by Swolfs after which guests enjoyed a multitude of photographs on display around the 1.8-kilometre stretch. – TradeArabia News Service
