Expanding conversations beyond traditional western-led geographical perspectives, Art Dubai’s agenda reconfirms its commitment to discovering new talent and exploring other cultures. The fair will welcome 21 first-time exhibitors, including galleries from Nigeria, Sudan and Vietnam, and will feature the largest selection of galleries from around the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia. The fair’s artistic director, Pablo del Val, said: “Through the selected participating galleries in the 14th edition of the fair, we are exploring and unearthing energies from the Global South and providing new readings on what is happening in the art world, from the established to the emerging.”
