Landmarks, both today and in the future, creating a real and imaginary path during Expo – and afterwards, when they will become an essential part of District 2020’s innovative character within the urban fabric of Dubai. The Public Art Programme is inspired by the famous Arab mathematician, astronomer and physicist Ibn al Haytham’s Book of Optics (c. 11th century).

Commissioned artists: Hamra Abbas, Afra Al Dhaheri, Shaikha Al Mazrou, Abdullah Al Saadi, Monira Al Qadiri, Asma Belhamar, Olafur Eliasson, Nadia Kaabi-Linke, Khalil Rabah, Yinka Shonibare, and Haegue Yang.

Curated by Tarek Abou El Fetouh

The programme is curated as a platform for contemporary art on the site with permanent substantial public artworks interwoven within its urban fabric.
