REFLECTIONS – Stories That Matter: A Global Artistic Dialogue
Curated by Jesno Jackson | Organized by Art4you Gallery | January 25–31, 2025 | Mehromah Art House, Dubai
Dubai, UAE: As “REFLECTIONS – Stories That Matter” takes place from January 25 to January 31, 2025, the Mehromah Art House will develop into a center for creative storytelling. This worldwide show, which is produced by Art4you Gallery and curated by Jesno Jackson, has sixteen artists from twelve different countries who use painting, sculpture, and installation to tell captivating stories.
“REFLECTIONS” is a moving examination of resiliency, change, and cultural identity. Art has traditionally been a window into human experience. Inspiring debates, the show explores heritage, migration, gender, and environmental concern via personal and socially important issues.
