Beyond Horizons: A Symphony of Innovation is a visionary showcase celebrating the convergence of art and technology through an intergenerational and interdisciplinary approach to medium, voice and content, addressing the notion of creativity in the contemporary age.

Embark on a journey that transcends traditional boundaries, exploring the union of traditional craftsmanship and cutting-edge technological artistry. Witness the transformation of artistic expression as both pioneer artists and new talents wield technology as a dynamic tool, crafting narratives that extend beyond the familiar horizons of art.

Italian contemporary artists, the maestros of this symphony, showcase their virtuosity, combining imagination and technique. Their works exemplify the boundless possibilities that innovation affords the art world. “Beyond Horizons” invites viewers to contemplate the evolving landscape of art and innovation. How will current media of cultural production and distribution shape artistic discourse? How did previous formats of artistic expression come to have relevance today? How did and will audiences engage with these transformative creations?

Join us in this experience, where each stroke, pixel, space, light and line resonate in harmony, composing a symphony that echoes the potential of art and innovation. Together, let’s go beyond established horizons and given narratives, and embrace the unfolding future where imagination knows no bounds.

The Consulate General of Italy in Dubai provides consular services to a growing community of 16.000+ residents and promotes Italian culture and trade relations in Dubai and the Northern Emirates. The Consulate General collaborates with institutions and artists to foster the knowledge and diffusion of Italian culture, believing that the arts, throughout time, essentially define Italy’s identity. Dubai’s international, lively environment favours such activities, offering an ideal ground for deepening mutual understanding and human bonds through culture. At the same time, appreciating the relevance of Dubai as a now global hub and its drive for innovation, the Consulate General constantly supports Italian companies in better understanding this market and seizing the many business opportunities it has to offer. The Consulate General operates under the aegis of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, together with the Embassy and the Cultural Institute in Abu Dhabi, as well as the Italian Trade Agency.

A body of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MAECI), the Italian Cultural Institute in Abu Dhabi is responsible for spreading and promoting the Italian language, culture and arts and for fostering cultural relations between Italy and the United Arab Emirates. As the cultural arm to the Italian Embassy in the UAE, the body strives to organize cultural, artistic and scientific initiatives to UAE’s richly diverse population – with Italy as their central theme. The Italian Cultural Institute in Abu Dhabi is one of 84 Italian Cultural Institutes (IIC) around the world which, together, promote the image of Italy and its rich culture abroad. By acting not only as a showcase and source of current information on Italy, but also as a driving force behind initiatives and projects of cultural cooperation, the Italian Cultural Institutes have become a focal point for both the Italian communities abroad and the growing demand for Italian culture throughout the world.
