Abu Dhabi Art’s Beyond Emerging Artists Exhibition Comes to London’s Saatchi Gallery

Abu Dhabi, UAE – Following its successful debut in Hong Kong, Abu Dhabi Art’s Beyond Emerging Artists (BEA) 2024 edition will be showcased at London’s Saatchi Gallery from October 1 to 11. This marks the programme’s seventh international presentation and its first at the iconic contemporary art venue.

Curated by Lorenzo Fiaschi, co-founder of GALLERIA CONTINUA, the exhibition features UAE-based artists Fatma Al Ali, Dina Nazmi Khorchid, and Simrin Mehra Agarwal. Spanning sculpture, sound, and textiles, their work—first shown at Manarat Al Saadiyat in Abu Dhabi—explores themes of transformation, memory, and the emotional connections between people and place, providing UK audiences with insight into emerging contemporary art from the UAE.

Saatchi Gallery, renowned for supporting emerging talent and making contemporary art accessible, offers an ideal platform for this exhibition. Its history of bold and thought-provoking shows ensures a strong cultural dialogue, introducing London audiences to the creative voices shaping the UAE art scene.

Supported by Abu Dhabi Art’s global partner, HSBC, the BEA programme continues to promote emerging UAE artists through mentorship, curatorial guidance, and international exposure. Launched in 2017, it has become a key platform for nurturing talent and fostering global artistic exchange.
