Dhai Dubai Light Art Exhibition

Dhai Dubai is an inclusive event open to visitors of all ages.

Dhai Dubai Light Exhibition is open to all visitors and is free of charge.

Participation in workshops and talks are on a first-come, first-served basis. Pre-registration is required to secure your space in a talk or workshop.

Dhai Dubai is the first Emirati-led light art exhibition, offering visitors an opportunity to experience a unique blend of traditional storytelling and cutting-edge artistic innovation.

The event returns for its second edition to the heart of Dubai from 12 to 18 November 2025 at Al Wasl Plaza, Expo City Dubai.

Dhai Dubai shines a light on the depth and diversity of Emirati culture through seven new artwork commissions created by three generations of leading Emirati artists and designers. This year’s theme, ‘Light Influences Life’, explores the profound impact of light on Emirati art, culture, and storytelling.

Dhai Dubai also features immersive light activations, alongside illuminating talks held at Expo City Dubai’s upcoming venue, House of Arts, a multidisciplinary space dedicated to championing art from the region and making it accessible to all.
