After 63 successful projects, we presented Ukrainian art in Dubai, UAE, for the very first time. Held with the support of the Embassy of Ukraine in the UAE, the exhibition explored the profound symbolism of the Bird as an embodiment of freedom and spirit, sparking unprecedented interest within the international community.

The official opening on January 30 welcomed over 100 distinguished guests, including members of the diplomatic corps, leaders of major businesses, and representatives of the global cultural elite.

The exhibition was officially opened by:

Khrystyna Berehovska, Director of ZAG Gallery, Doctor of Art History, Professor at the Lviv National Academy of Arts.

Oleksandr Balanutsa, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Ukraine to the UAE.

We were also deeply honored to welcome Sheikh Noor and his wife to the opening. Mrs. Somayeh Noor is one of the most influential figures in the region and the first Arab woman to assemble one of the world’s largest private art collections, valued at approximately $1 billion. Her collection features masterpieces by Frida Kahlo, Monet, Picasso, Diego Velázquez, Camille Pissarro, and other globally renowned artists.

In this way, the “BIRD” exhibition marked a historic moment—presenting Ukrainian artists on the same stage, for the first time, alongside the great masters of world art.
