‘Al Duroor’ - Artistic Icon in Al Shindagha
The sculpture ‘Al Duroor’ is another Dubai Public Art initiative. Inspired by traditional astronomical calculations used by the people of the GCC in the past, the Emirati artist and designer Mattar bin Lahej created this unique piece commissioned by Dubai Culture in Al Shindagha Historic Neighbourhood. The sculpture, weighing 400 kilograms and standing at a height of 5 metres, reinterprets an important element of heritage through a contemporary artistic vision, aligning with the Authority’s efforts to promote Emirati heritage in public spaces.
