Dubai is set to host one of the world’s biggest photography exhibitions next year. Organised by Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum International Photography Award (HIPA) and held at Dubai Design District from March 16 to 19, the event will exhibit more than 700 world-class images by acclaimed international photographers.
The Global Perspective on Photography exhibition will have more than a dozen curators presenting images from the 20th and 21st century from 25 countries.
They will be categorised into 18 international exhibits mapping the evolution of photography, the aim being to underscore the cultural similarities within such diversity. The UAE works will be curated by Emirati photographer Jassim Al Awadh.
The exhibition will follow HIPA’s grand award ceremony and will be part of the inaugural Dubai Photo Season which will kick off during Art Dubai season in March, details of which will be announced soon.
The season will also have a range of photography workshops led by international photographers. The exhibition has been initiated to put the UAE at the forefront of the international photography industry and promote the craft with educational programmes and workshops.
