The United Arab Emirates is more than oil, desert heat, and monumental architecture. This young country has a lively culture with a rich and diverse heritage. The 14-day exhibition ART NOMADS – Made in the Emirates shows 15 contemporary artists from a variety of disciplines, reflecting on a culture that is undergoing rapid development. Together they represent a cross-section of contemporary art from the Emirates by emerging artists, influenced by cultural heritage and visual traditions translated into the 21st century, as well as by prominent artists of the older generation. In the centre of Kreuzberg, under the roof of the Kunstquartier Bethanian, a former hospital and chapel, these artists will come together to introduce their exciting new ideas into the Berlin art scene. The exhibition, presented by Abu Dhabi’s Etihad Modern Art Gallery, is brought to you in partnership with MOMENTUM and the Sovereign Art Foundation.

For ART NOMADS – Made in the Emirates, MOMENTUM is proud to present, in partnership with the Sovereign Art Foundation’s inaugural MENA Art Prize, their finalists from the UAE. The Sovereign Art Foundation is a charity founded in Hong Kong in 2003 with the purpose of raising money to fund projects using art as education, rehabilitation and therapy for disadvantaged children. The Sovereign Asian Art Prize is now in its 12th year and is the biggest, best known and most prestigious arts prize in the Asia region. In October 2016, SAF launched its inaugural MENA Art Prize in Dubai, for the Middle East & North Africa region. We are proud to present the finalists from the UAE in Berlin. For more information, see the Press Release attached.
