The Global Art Forum is Art Dubai’s flagship transdisciplinary summit convening thinkers, artists and innovators to examine ideas shaping art and society.
Modern Talks is an annual series dedicated to scholarship and overlooked art histories. Presented in partnership with Dubai Collection, the programme advances critical research and rigorous historical inquiry.
Collector Talks bring together leading collectors to reflect on collecting as sustained practice shaped by vision, responsibility and personal connection. The programme considers how collections support artists, engage institutions and contribute to public cultural life beyond ownership.
Conversations with Artists offers close-up access to the practices, stories and achievements of artists featured across the fair. Bringing together established and emerging voices, these intimate talks explore artistic development and the thinking that underpins contemporary practice.
Partner Talks bring together creative leaders to address ideas influencing the global art landscape. The series spans contemporary culture, architecture, publishing and design through cross-disciplinary conversations that extend beyond the exhibition context.
