Overview
Sight & Insight | Guggenheim Abu Dhabi Ramadan Programme
Sight & Insight is Guggenheim Abu Dhabi’s seminal Ramadan Programme—a series of
community-based cultural salons that bring together artists, writers, and critics to lead
communal discussions exploring art interpretation across the Arab region. Hosted outdoors
in targeted areas, the programme intentionally meets audiences in familiar settings,
moving away from formal institutional spaces to foster a more open and inclusive
atmosphere, bringing art directly to people and engaging them on their own ground.
