MIA ART COLLECTION, IN COLLABORATION WITH DUBAI CULTURE,

PRESENT ITS ART EXHIBITION ‘.SERENDIPITY’

AT THE AL SAFA DESIGN & ARTS LIBRARY CENTER

Serendipity or “the magic of finding something while looking for something else”, a simple and wonderful word that has its origin in the Arabic vocabulary, opens our eyes away from an immediate reality to a possible dream still concealed.

The exhibition “.SERENDIPITY” is an exhibition of exclusively women art of the Middle East, in the prominent Al Safa Design & Arts Library in Dubai.

Curated by the MIA Art Collection team under direction of the founder Alejandra Castro Rioseco, SERENDIPITY is a journey across more than 30 works of art of over 10 countries in the Middle East region, each work carefully selected for their value and thematic relationship to reflect the viewpoint of MIA ART Collection of respect and admiration for women artists, their work and their trajectory.

Each artwork tells a different story. Each artwork in its proper way relates to the value of being a woman in the arts. The artists across generations include Shirin Neshat, Effat Nagui, Azza Al Qubaisi, Lulwah Al Homoud and Nayla Romanos Iliya, to name a few.

The exhibition “.SERENDIPITY” has been created to connect with and rejoice the 50th Anniversary of the United Arab Emirates, celebrating its welcoming and integration of world cultures through art.

On March 10^th at the MIA Art Collection Gala Dinner & Awards, in collaboration with BULGARI, ten personalities will receive the prestigious MIA Award as a recognition for their distinguished effort in supporting women visibility in the world of art.

.SERENDIPITY official opening Ceremony is on March 8^th on the International Women´s Day and is open to the public from March 9^th to 31^st at the Al Safa Design & Arts Library.

MIA Art Collection in Egypt: In an effort to expand our female-only art collection, our director Alejandra Castro Rioseco has traveled exclusively to Egypt with a group of collector friends.

We are thrilled to have a virtual and physical exhibition, at the same time, with HUB/ART @hubartexhibition from Milano and Greta Zuccali @gretazuccali , its founder and director. • A physical and virtual exhibition shows how women can articulate, due to collaborations and female support, a multidimensional experience.

We are happy to announce the participation of MIA art collection in this wonderful international collection committee.
