The dizzying art exhibition will take place in Dubai atop the Burj Al Arab heliport until March 27.
After that, The Art Maze will travel across several continents for two years until 2023. Its first stop is Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal. His last show will be held in the capital – Abu Dhabi. We will of course inform you of his return home.
This new exhibition is part of Jafri’s journey towards a new vision of hope for planet Earth titled “We Rise Together”. In February, the Dubai-based artist unveiled the first artwork to be sent to the moon. Last year Jafri also received a Guinness World Record for ‘The Journey of Mankind’ – an artwork that measures 17,176.6 square feet. It sold for a record 227,757,000 Dhs. All the money was donated to charity.
Artist and philanthropist, Sacha Jafri commented, “The launch of ‘The Art Maze’ on the Burj Al Arab Jumeirah heliport will truly be a one-of-a-kind concept where art meets architecture and technology, and we look forward to sharing it with the rest of the community. world.’
