Dubai Culture, in collaboration with Nikon Middle East and Dr Mukesh Batra, the founder of Dr. Batra Homeopathic Clinics, and with the support of the Sikka Platform, presents the Shades of Dubai exhibition. This event spotlights the selected artists from the Shades of Dubai competition launched earlier this year to discover photography talent within the UAE. The exhibition serves as an innovative platform for these individuals to refine their skills, offering them a space for development. Photography, a cornerstone of visual arts and a vital component of Dubai's cultural and creative industries, takes centre stage.

Hosted at Al Jalila Cultural Centre for Children, the exhibition runs until 15 September, featuring 14 diverse and creative images that capture Dubai's allure, nature, and prominent landmarks. Among the contributors is Dr Mukesh Batra, who has charted the UAE's heritage, culture, and natural scenes during his exploratory tours. Also featured are Sharafudheen Kadavath, Salem Sarhan Al Sawafi, Goutam Mitra, Abdullah Sameh Aly, and Ralph Emerson de Peralta. Their works reflect a range of experiences in documenting Dubai's essence, encapsulating their unique connections to the city that has become a magnet for creatives worldwide.
