Mina Zayed: Reflections on Past Futures
An investigation on the gridded, vast, and distinctly utilitarian area of Abu Dhabi
421, Zayed Port, Freezone, Abu Dhabi
The exhibition investigates on how Mina Zayed’s urban plan reflects the role it played as the principal trading gateway for Abu Dhabi. The area was instrumental in the Capital’s growth, and the development of its culture, both material and anthropological. Works by eleven artists shed light on the context of Mina Zayed through the medium of narrative photography.
