Gilles DyanFounder and ChairmanOpera Gallery Group

Bertrand EpaudGeneral Manager

Opera Gallery Dubai

Opera Gallery Dubai is pleased to unveil our new exhibition dedicated to Contemporary

Orientalism, the perception of the Arab World by Non Arab artists today.

Orientalism today goes beyond the traditional representation of Arab horsemen, or ethnic

scenes from North Africa. We will explore the representation of the icons and celebrities

from the region, the different representations of women in the Arab World today, the

symbols that characterize this part of the world and finally the political aspect linked to

events such as the war in Iraq.

I hope that you will join us in this journey that intends to present a different image of the

Arab World today.
