Under the Same Sky is a group exhibition bringing together artists who live and work in the United Arab Emirates. The exhibition is conceived as a space for practices shaped by sustained presence by what is noticed, learned, and absorbed through time spent living within a specific cultural and social environment.
Artists are invited to develop new or existing works in response to a prompt of their choosing drawn from within the UAE. This may emerge from an everyday encounter, an object or material, a spatial condition, a geographical location, a recurring gesture, or a moment that has remained quietly significant. The intention is not to depict or illustrate place, but to allow meaning to surface through attentiveness, restraint, and form.
The exhibition is interested in how artistic language adapts through proximity, how global ways of making are recalibrated through local experience. Works may reflect this through material choices, scale, rhythm, or atmosphere, offering responses that feel situated, considered, and responsive rather than declarative.
