Art Dubai Modern is curated by Dr Christianna Bonin, Assistant Professor of Art History at the American University of Sharjah. The section will highlight the cultural dynamics that gave rise to today’s Global South.

The post-World War II geopolitical landscape of these regions created intricate cultural links, in particular for the many artists who studied in Soviet metropoles through Cold War-era exchanges. Reflecting the polyphonic nature of these relations, this section will encompass artists from Central and South Asia, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America.
