Description: This book draws together an oral and visual art history of a country that is extremely rich in culture and history but that is often overlooked or underestimated. By observing the country's history and visual culture and the artistic practices of select artists from the UAE it considers the development of contemporary art from the UAE. This will increase accessibility to art by Emiratis and underline its wider relevance. There is a dearth of literature on contemporary art by Emiratis and this may be one of the reasons contemporary art from the UAE is under - represented globally. In order to help the reader better understand art from the UAE this book traces the country's historical make - up its culture and contemporary art tradition through oral histories based on interviews with a wide variety of artists and people working in the art industries. It also explores this development using global art discourses that are relevant to art produced in the UAE today. This book also considers how cultural and artistic identities are formed and explores the political and socio - economic interests in the country that have stimulated art practices and appreciation. For so long an exclusively Western narrative has dominated Art and popular media portrays the Gulf's accomplishments in development and modernity with suspicion. Thanks to the UAE's espousal of the Internet and online communities over the last decade this book is particularly timely. Following the pandemic a wider understanding of global art discourses values and perceptions are increasingly welcomed. Art from the UAE bridges the local and the global giving a voice and a visual presence to a country's contemporary art tradition that has been widely overlooked. The UAE has a distinct visual arts tradition that relates to a broader and inclusive understanding of art centered on development and change.
