“As we emerge from a world-altering pandemic, the importance of the culture and creative industries has never been clearer,” writes His Excellency Mohamed Khalifa Al Mubarak, Chairman of DCT – Abu Dhabi in his foreword to ART BOOK Abu Dhabi Exhibition 002. “Around the world, hundreds of millions of us turned to artistic and creative pursuits for solace, healing and connection. Never in our lifetimes has the profound role that culture plays in connecting people and societies, and promoting the wellbeing of communities, been so clearly highlighted.” Sultan Al Ramahi @sults_art.
