Vibrant artistic paintings in 12 locations in Sharjah

Organised by Sharjah Commerce and Tourism Development Authority (SCTDA), "Sharjah Light Festival" continues to dazzle its visitors and has so far included 12 locations in the Emirate of Sharjah, transforming them into vibrant artistic paintings.

As usual, the festival provides a distinctive platform for creators and artists, who display new light and interactive experiences that form exceptional works of art and paintings, each of which carries a story and a message with meaning and impact.

Sharjah… A cultural and knowledge hub

In Sharjah, Sharjah Research, Technology and Innovation Park presents “The Story of an Exceptional Vision,” a translation of the exceptional vision of His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, which transformed Sharjah into an influential cultural and knowledge hub. It also tells vibrant stories of science, creativity and sustainability, and takes visitors on a visual journey that embodies the spirit of unity and harmony between man, the universe and nature.

One of the most prominent shows this year is “The Journey of the Light of Knowledge and Culture”, which transforms the walls of Sharjah Mosque into living paintings that tell the story of harmony between man, art and nature, and pulsates with Sharjah’s rich heritage.

As for the “Environmental Brilliance” show, it draws its inspiration from the sparkling coral reefs of Sharjah, transforming the Al Majaz Waterfront walkway into a wonderful light scene that combines the beauty of the ocean and the clarity of the sky.

This artistic installation focuses on the importance of preserving the marine environment and sustainability, and highlights the emirate’s commitment to sustainable development, while highlighting its ongoing efforts to preserve the beauty of nature.

In the Orbits of Dialogue show, the sand dunes of Al Heerah Beach and light trails light the way to a stunning art installation inspired by the shape of a shell on the beach, in celebration of Sharjah’s rich pearl heritage.

The artwork “Nexus Dream” at Al Hamriyah Beach seamlessly combines art, science and philosophy, inviting viewers to reflect on the relationship between the individual and the universe, and between physical reality and the imaginary world.

The installation, which is being displayed at BEEAH's headquarters, “Shadows of Innovation”, is a distinctive blend of innovation and architecture, reflecting Sharjah’s commitment to technology and progress, creating an unparalleled futuristic narrative experience.

As for the Columns of Unity show, it is a stunning art installation that illuminates Aljada Park in Sharjah, and is a symbol of cohesion at the heart of Aljada Park, where art and technology come together to create an unforgettable experience that represents harmony and connection.

As visitors enter this light installation, they find themselves surrounded by a world of light, movement and emotion, enhancing a deep sense of unity and harmony.

Tens of thousands of visitors

The festival, which attracts tens of thousands of visitors from inside and outside the UAE, will continue until February 16, presenting exceptional light shows that celebrate the aesthetics of the emirate’s architecture and cultural heritage, while the “Light Village” activities will continue until February 23, witnessing the participation of a large number of diverse small and medium-sized national projects that compete to provide experiences that meet the diverse interests of visitors.
