A timely conversation as the region prepares to welcome one of its most significant cultural moments of the year, Abu Dhabi Art. This discussion will explore how the contemporary art landscape is being reshaped in an era where collectors build direct relationships with artists and digital platforms redefine access. Art fairs, too, are navigating this transformation — evolving from market hubs into spaces for visibility, exchange, and connection.
Moderated by Suzy Sikorski, Founder of MidEast Art, and featuring Sunny Rahbar, Co-founder of The Third Line, Amina Debbiche, Co-founder of The Open Crate, artist Chafa Ghaddar and Mohammed Afkhami, Art Collector, this discussion will examine how institutions are adapting to a rapidly changing ecosystem.
