ArtDayME: Louvre Abu Dhabi has unveiled the sixth edition of its contemporary art exhibition, Art Here 2026, in partnership with Swiss luxury watchmaker Richard Mille. Opening on November 11 under the theme Confluences, the exhibition brings together six artists from India and the region to explore centuries of cultural exchange across the Indian Ocean.

Ahead of the official opening, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan bin Khalifa Al Nahyan toured the exhibition alongside Dr. Mohamed Abdalla Al Zaabi, Undersecretary of the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi, and Saeed Ali Obaid Al Fazari, Executive Director of Strategic Affairs.

Curated by Kamini Sawhney, the exhibition presents six large-scale installations beneath the museum’s iconic dome, examining migration, memory, identity, belonging and the connections that shape communities across regions.

The participating artists are Ahaad Alamoudi, Almaha Jaralla, Shamin Sahrum, Ravikumar Kashi, Reena Saini Kallat and Vivek Vilasini, representing diverse cultural and artistic perspectives.

Selected from more than 300 submissions, the six works are competing for the Richard Mille Art Prize, worth $60,000 (AED 220,380). The winner will be announced in December 2026.

Now in its sixth edition, Art Here forms part of a ten-year partnership between Louvre Abu Dhabi and Richard Mille, supporting contemporary artistic expression and international cultural dialogue.

Art Here 2026: Confluences will remain open to visitors until February 28, 2027, offering an opportunity to discover how artistic practices reveal the historical and contemporary connections linking the region and the Indian Ocean.
