Curated by Shamsa Al Qubaisi, Maryam Al Zaabi and Sara Al Sulaimani, and mentored by curatorial advisors Nada Shabout and Magali Arriola.

This exhibition presented a curated selection of works that explored the profound connections underlying human experience. Moving beyond individual narratives, the collection revealed how art transcends boundaries to articulate shared truths about identity, memory, and belonging. Through diverse mediums and perspectives, the works examined universal themes of cultural heritage, displacement, and resilience while inviting viewers to engage in an ongoing dialogue. The gallery transformed into a dynamic space where personal reflection converged with collective understanding, demonstrating art's unique capacity to both reflect and shape our interconnected world.
